Grilled Flank Steak With Cumin Aioli Recipe


Grilled Flank Steak With Cumin Aioli Recipe
A terrific grilled flank steak with a cumin scented aioli topping. Super supper dish. I like this with a green leafy salad with a tart vinagrette to cut the richness of the aioli.

Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 flank steak, about 2 1/2 lbs.
  • or you can use a sirloin steak instead
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. cumin seeds
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 tsp. lemon juice

Directions
  1. Mix the olive oil, salt, garlic and black pepper together in a small bowl. Spread on both sides of the steak. Cover and refrigerate.
  2. Dry-roast the cumin seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat until they darken a shade. Remove from the heat. Finely grind half of the cumin seeds in a spice or coffee grinder.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, Dijon mustard, salt, garlic and the finely ground cumin seeds.
  4. With the motor on, add half of the oils in a slow steady stream. Add the lemon juice and continue adding the rest of the oil until the aioli is emulsified. If the mixture seems too thick, add a spoonful or two of water.
  5. Scrape the aioli into a bowl and stir in the whole cumin seeds.
  6. Preheat the barbecue or broiler to high. Grill or broil the steak, 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice very thinly across the grain and serve with the cumin aioli on the side.

As with the other aioli recipes posted here, you can vary the taste of the aioli by adding a roasted, peeled, and seeded red or yellow pepper before you begin emulsifying the oil.


Wonderful recipe NYM! Cumin is one of my favorite flavors, this is certainly a high fiver! And thanks for the "serve with" suggestions. Those are ALWAYS appreciated!
