| Author Notes: | You can use a sirloin steak in place of the flank steak. In fact, any steak is good with the cumin aioli. Flank steak is best served medium-rare or less, and leftovers are wonderful. |
| Ingredients: |
Cumin Aioli: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cumin seeds 1 large egg 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) sea salt 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil 4 teaspoons (20 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/2 cup (120 ml) extra-virgin olive oil Steak: 3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoons (2.5 ml) sea salt 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoons (2.5 ml) freshly ground black pepper 2 1/2-pound (1.1 kg) flank steak |
| Instructions: |
To make the cumin aioli: Place the cumin seeds in a small frying pan and stir over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until they darken a shade. Remove from the heat. Finely grind half of the cumin seeds in a coffee grinder or with a mortar and pestle. In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, mustard, salt, garlic, and the ground cumin seeds. Process briefly to blend. With the motor running, add the vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream. Pour in the lemon juice and then slowly add the olive oil until the aioli is emulsified. If the mixture seems too thick, add a spoonful or two of water. Scrape the aioli into a bowl and stir in the whole cumin seeds. Cover and refrigerate. To make the steak: Preheat the grill or broiler. Grill or broil the steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Slice very thinly across the grain and serve with the aioli on the side. Per serving: |
