SPICE DOUBLE RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK SERVED WITH RUEDAS DE FUEGO

Steps:

• Toast and grind the cumin, coriander, fennel, and mustard seeds. Combine these with the oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Divide the spice mixture into 2 equal parts. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil and then rub each steak generously with one half of the spice mix and set aside.
• In a food processor, puree together the chipotle adobo, garlic, and lemon juice and rub this on the steaks. Let them marinate for 3 hours, refrigerated.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in pan. Cook the steak for approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side; then finish off in the oven for approximately 4 minutes.
• Heat up a pan with about 1-inch of oil. Mix the remaining spice mix into 1 cup flour. While the steaks are in the oven, dip the poblano and the onion rings in the buttermilk, and then dip into the seasoned flour. Fry the rings in the heated oil, turning the rings on both sides until golden brown.
• Arrange the steaks on a serving platter and top off with the onion and poblano rings.

GRILLED SPICE-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with kosher salt. Stir together spices in a bowl, then stir in garlic and oil until a paste forms. Pat steak dry, then rub all over with paste. Marinate steak in a sealed large plastic bag, chilled, at least 6 hours.
• Bring steak to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• While steak comes to room temperature, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
• Grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once, 4 to 6 minutes total for medium-rare.
• Cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Divide sweet-potato salad among 6 plates, then top with steak and arugula.
