Pat steaks dry with paper towels. With sharp knife, cut 1/16-inch-deep slits on both sides of steaks, spaced ½ inch apart, in crosshatch pattern. Rub salt mixture evenly on both sides of steaks. Place steaks on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet; let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. After 30 minutes, prepare grill. 2. For the Spice Rub: Toast chiles, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, and peppercorns in 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until just beginning to smoke, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to plate to cool, about 5 minutes. Grind spices in spice grinder or in mortar with pestle until coarsely ground. Transfer spices to bowl and stir in sugar, paprika, and cloves. 3a. For a Charcoal Grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter mounded with charcoal briquettes (7 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour two-thirds evenly over grill, then pour remaining coals over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. 3b. For a Gas Grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner on high and turn other burner(s) to medium. 4. Clean and oil cooking grate. Sprinkle half of spice rub evenly over 1 side of steaks and press to adhere until spice rub is fully moistened. Lightly spray rubbed side of steak with vegetable oil spray, about 3 seconds. Flip steaks and repeat process of sprinkling with spice rub and coating with vegetable oil spray on second side. 5. Place steaks over hotter part of grill and cook until browned and charred on both sides and center registers 125 degrees for medium-rare or 130 degrees for medium, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Steps:
- Position a broiler pan on the rack closest to the broiler and preheat to high for at least 10 minutes.
- Pulse the anchovies, garlic, Dijon mustard, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper in a small food processor. Add the olive oil and pulse to mix. Rub the paste all over the steak.
- Carefully pull the preheated pan from the broiler, set the steak in the center of the rack (it should sizzle when it hits the pan), and return to the broiler. Cook until the meat feels firm but still gives gently when pressed, 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. (If your pan rack has preheated properly, it will not be necessary to turn the meat. However, if your broiler doesn't have a high output of heat, turn the meat 3/4 of the way through cooking to finish off the other side.)
- Remove the meat from the broiler, remove it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Thinly slice the meat, against the grain, set on a platter. Serve warm with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Store in airtight container, until ready to use.
- Rub well into meat and cook.
Tips:
- Choose the right steak: Select a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. This will ensure that the steak is juicy and flavorful.
- Prepare the steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Let the steak rest: After seasoning the steak, let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This will allow the steak to come to room temperature and cook more evenly.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Sear the steak in a hot skillet or grill over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the steak rest before serving: After cooking the steak, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
By following these tips, you can cook a perfect steak every time. Experiment with different rubs and spices to find your favorite flavor combination. And don't be afraid to adjust the cooking time to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to cook a steak that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
