Steps:
- Cut the steak into 6 or 7 chunks. In a small bowl, mix together the Worcestershire, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, spices, onion and olive oil. Season meat well on both sides, then place in a flat non-metallic dish or baking tray. Cover with the marinade and chill for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature 1 hr before grilling.
- Heat an outdoor grill or griddle pan until very hot. Pat the meat dry and drizzle with a little more oil, then season. Thread 2 thin metal skewers through 2 of the steaks and repeat with the others. Grill for 3-4 mins on one side, then turn over and repeat. Let the beef skewers rest under foil for 10 mins, then slice and serve with the sauces (see 'goes well with', right).

BEEF AND ONIONS WITH CUMIN
A very tasty stew that goes beautifully with rice and a crisp mixed salad. I got the basic recipe from a book purchased from a second hand shop and have adapted it. I sometimes add mushrooms and also serve it with a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:
- Season the steak with salt and pepper. Finely grind 2 teaspoons cumin seeds in a spice grinder (or grind them with the bottom of a skillet). Toss the steak with the ground cumin, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a large bowl; let sit 10 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the bell pepper, slice the chile into very thin rounds and cut the scallions into 1-inch pieces.
- Preheat a large skillet or wok over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then add the bell pepper, chile, scallions and a pinch of salt. Cook, undisturbed, until the vegetables are charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Toss a few times and continue cooking until crisp-tender, about 1 more minute; remove to a large plate.
- Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to the skillet, then add the steak, spreading it out in an even layer. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds and cook, undisturbed, until the steak is crisp around the edges and charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Toss a few times and continue cooking until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain off any fat from the skillet, then return the vegetables to the pan along with half the cilantro; toss. Serve over the rice and top with the remaining cilantro.
HUNAN BEEF WITH CUMIN
This fragrant beef stir-fry is an adaptation of one found in Fuchsia Dunlop's "Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook," whose subject is the food of Sichuan's less celebrated eastern neighbor, Hunan province. Cumin, a spice rarely used in Chinese cooking, chiles, chile flakes and garlic create a heated yet sophisticated flavor profile.

Steps:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the garlic and ginger until they release their fragrance, about 30 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Raise the heat to medium-high, and stir 4 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce boils and slightly thickens. Remove sauce from the heat, and set aside.
- Place the sliced beef into a bowl, and stir the cornstarch into the beef, coating it thoroughly. Allow the beef and cornstarch to sit until most of the juices from the meat have been absorbed by the cornstarch, about 10 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-sided skillet or wok to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Shake excess cornstarch from the beef slices, and drop them into the hot oil, a few at a time. Stir briefly, and fry until the edges become crisp and start to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the beef from the oil with a large slotted spoon, and allow to drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Pour the oil out of the skillet or wok, and return the pan to medium heat. Return the beef slices to the pan, stir briefly, and pour in the reserved sauce. Stir once or twice to combine, and add the green onions. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook until the onions have softened and turned bright green, about 2 minutes.
