  • Tenderize the meat with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan to help the rub adhere and the meat cook more evenly.
  • Use a spice rub that complements the natural flavors of the meat. In this recipe, the combination of cumin, coriander, and paprika provides a warm and flavorful crust.
  • Let the meat rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors of the rub to penetrate.
  • Cook the meat over medium-high heat to quickly caramelizing the outside while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat is fully with internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rate, 160°F for medium-well, or 170°F for well-done.
  • Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
