Jamaican Jerk Steak

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 10 Min

Make a big batch of this to have on hand as a seasoning sprinkle for steaks, chops, and roasts when you want a quick taste of the tropics at your fingertips.

What You'll Need

1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup dried thyme
1/4 cup ground ginger
2 tablespoons ground allspice
2 tablespoons ground cloves
2 tablespoons kosher (coarse) salt
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (1-1/2 to 2 pounds) boneless beef top sirloin or top round steak, 1 inch thick

What to Do

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the oil and steak; mix well. Remove 1 to 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture and press it into both sides of the steak.
Reserve the remaining "Jerk" mixture in an airtight plastic container for future use.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the steak. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, until desired doneness, turning halfway through the cooking.
