Masala-Spiced Rib-Eye Steaks


Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 bone-in rib-eye steaks (each 2 pounds and 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick), room temperature
  • 8 ounces fresh medium-to-large okra
  • 8 ounces plum tomatoes (about 3), halved lengthwise
  • 1 jalapeno chile
  • 1 teaspoon safflower oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves


Directions

  1. Toast cumin, coriander, and peppercorns in a small skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Grind in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle, transfer to a bowl, and stir in cinnamon and salt. Season each steak with 2 tablespoons spice mixture; let stand 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss okra, tomatoes, and chile with oil and 1 teaspoon spice mixture.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush hot grill with oil. Grill steaks until charred in places on bottom, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn steaks and add okra, tomatoes, and chile. Grill until vegetables are charred in places and tender, and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of steaks (do not touch bone) reaches 125 degrees for medium-rare. Transfer steaks and vegetables to a cutting board. While steaks rest, at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes, grill corn.
  3. Meanwhile, coarsely chop okra, tomatoes, and chile and transfer to a bowl. Toss relish with mint and season with salt. Thinly slice steaks across the grain and serve with relish.
