How to Make Moroccan Spiced Beef

  1. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  3. Add the steaks (about 1.5 inches thick) to the bowl and generously rub the spice mixture all over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Let the steaks stand, covered, at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Grill the steaks on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over the heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your preferred level of doneness (e.g., 130-135°F for medium-rare).
  6. Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately with chutney (e.g., mango chutney, date chutney).
  7. Enjoy your delicious Moroccan Spiced Beef!
