Ingredients

• 2 pieces T-bone steaks
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 piece Lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.

Step 2

Pat the T-bone steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak on both sides with olive oil.

Step 3

Evenly coat the steaks with the prepared spice rub, pressing gently to help the spices adhere to the meat. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Grill the T-bone steaks for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F/54°C for medium-rare, or longer for more well-done steaks).

Step 6

While the steaks are grilling, mix the minced garlic with lemon juice in a small bowl to create a tangy finishing sauce.

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Drizzle the garlic-lemon sauce over the steaks, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the T-bone steaks hot with sides such as couscous, grilled vegetables, or a crisp salad.
