Skirt steak with Moroccan Spice Rub and Yogurt Sauce
This is a recipe I found in a cooking magazine. Melissa and I really like it. It’s kind of spicy and really easy to make (takes about 1/2 hour to prep, maybe 10 minutes to cook on the grill).
Spice rub:
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1.5 tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp caraway seeds, crushed
1/2 tsp ground pepper
Skirt steak:
1.25 lbs skirt steak, cut into 6″ strips
3 tbsp plus 1.5 tsp moroccan spice rub (from above)
3/4 cup plain yogurt
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 tbsp jalapeno
1 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper
To make spice rub, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Rub steaks w/3 tbsp spice rub and let stand 5 minutes.
In medium bowl, combine yogurt, scallions, garlic, jalapenos and remaining spice rub. Stir in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Brush steaks lightly with olive oil and grill over high heat until desired doneness.
Serve over pita bread and lettuce.
