Spice-Rubbed Grilled Steak

I love this spice rub for steaks on the grill, but it’s also great with lamb chops. For the best flavor, grind your own whole cumin seed.

• 2 Tbs. ground cumin
• 1 Tbs. dried oregano
• 1 Tbs. coarsely ground black peppercorns
• 1 Tbs. brown sugar, preferably light
• 1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1-1/2 tsp. sweet paprika
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 4 sirloin or New York strip steaks (about 8 oz. each), about 3/4 inch thick

Prepare a grill fire. In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, oregano, peppercorns, brown sugar, cinnamon, paprika, and salt. Pat the rub all over the steaks. Grill the steaks over a medium-hot fire, about 5 minutes per side, or until done to your liking.
