I made this exactly as posted, including the cast iron skillet! My steak was still partially frozen, so I did increase the cook time by a minute on each side. The result was perfection. I didn't expect this recipe to be so good, but I'm so glad it was! The ingredients really don't let you know how yummy this is...try it!

Used a strip steak that I picked up today. I cut back the seasoning by half because I was cooking for one. The flavor was very good (I really like cumin). Cooked the steak on an older, small, newly acquired George Foreman grill for 8 minutes and that gave me a well done steak. Next time I will use a skirt steak, think this would taste even better. Thanks for posting this recipe Oolala.

Great Rub. I did not use the oil really no need for it. Doubled the recipe because I had 2 flat iron steaks. I rubbed the steaks, let them set in the fridge for about 1 1/2 hours left at room temp for about 30 minutes then put them on the grill. They ate evey last bite, no leftovers!!=( Will be using this one often. Thanks

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
