Berbere-Rubbed Rib-Eye Steaks with Grilled Lemon
Serves 6
Time 35 min
These easy steaks are a wonderful centerpiece for a casual summer meal. They get a flavor boost from berbere, an Ethiopian chile and spice blend that has a hint of sweetness from cinnamon and cardamom. Grilled asparagus or tabbouleh salad makes an excellent accompaniment, or you can fan the steak slices over lightly dressed greens and serve with grilled bread for a complete meal.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 2 (1.0-pound) boneless rib-eye steaks
- 1 1/2 teaspoon berbere spice blend
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, slightly more if your berbere doesn't include salt
- 1 large lemon, quartered, seeds removed
- 1 1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Method
Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking, making sure there is a cool area where you can move steaks in case of flare-ups.
Sprinkle steaks on both sides with berbere and salt.
Brush cut sides of lemon wedges with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil.
Grill steaks, flipping halfway through, until they reach the desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Grill lemon wedges on cut sides until browned and hot, about 5 minutes.
Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
Slice thinly and drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over top.
