What a unique and great way to season a steak. I really enjoyed the spiciness of the ancho chili pepper ad the chipotle chile pepper as well as the hint of cinnamon and the smokiness of the cumin. I topped it all off with some grilled onions. Yummy! Made for December, 2008 Aussie/NZ Swap. -
This was terrific! Never would have thought of trying cinnamon in the crust for a steak but it was great on a nice big T-bone. I used quite a generous amount of the mix (about double) on the steak to suit personal tastes and it had wonderful but not too strong chili taste while the cinnamon gave it a subtle sweetness at the same time. -
I absolutely love this! I let the seasonings sit on the meat for a couple of hrs and used the broiler to cook it to a wee bit past med rare. This turned an already great steak cut into something really exceptional. I continue to worship at the alter of cinnamon. Paula thx so much for posting this one, when I want to be indulgent this is what I'll use from now on! Outstanding!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
