Spicy Grilled Steak (Shawayuh)
This is a Yemenite specialty.
2 pounds beef boneless sirloin steak,
1 1/2 inches thick
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely-ground pepper
3 tablespoons caraway seed
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cardamom seed, crushed
Slash outer edge of fat on beef steak diagonally at 1-inch intervals to prevent curling (do not cut into lean). Mix remaining ingredients. Sprinkle on both sides of beef; lightly press into beef. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Grill beef 4 to 5 inches from medium coals, turning 2 or 3 times, until of desired doneness, 25 to 35 minutes for medium.
Cut into serving pieces.
Yields 6 servings.
