Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus for brushing
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
2 teaspoons granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 flank steak (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 jalapeno chile, seeded and minced
2 ripe yellow plantains

Steps:

  • 1. For steak: Stir oil, allspice, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and pepper together in a bowl, to make a paste. Rub mixture all over steak and set aside until room temperature, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • 2. Preheat a grill to high.
  • 3. For mojo: Toast cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Grind seeds in a spice grinder or using a mortar and pestle.
  • 4. Heat olive oil and garlic along with toasted cumin over medium-high heat until garlic begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Cool oil slightly and whisk with lime juice, oregano, salt, pepper, and jalapeno in medium bowl.
  • 5. Grill steak until slightly charred and crisp and medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Set aside on a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • 6. Brush plantains lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on grill, skin-side down, and cook until soft and skin is charred about 5 minutes. Turn and cook to sear on grill marks, about 2 minutes more.
  • 7. Slice steak and arrange on a platter with plantains, drizzle with some mojo. Serve with remaining sauce at table.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
