Spiced Rub Steak with Blood Orange Sauce
Nothing like a delicious steak- especially if it is smothered in some delicious spices and complemented with my favorite, blood orange infused sauce!!! It is absolutely delicious! I also made my new favorite starch- black rice and of course, I can’t have steak without some yummy roasted potatoes!!
- 2 to 3 large strip steaks (I made 2 steaks for 3 people)
- Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
Mix the spices in a small bowl. Drizzle the steaks with olive oil and rub the spice rub on both sides and marinate for 2 to 3 hours.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Blood Orange Sauce
- 1 cup blood orange juice
- 1 cup tomato sauce, preferably homemade
- ½ to 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Heat a cast iron pan with the olive oil. Sear the steaks on both sides on high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes each. Take out of the pan and rest. Add the blood orange juice and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes till the liquid is reduced by half. Add the tomato sauce, smoked paprika and salt. Bring to a boil and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes. Check for seasonings and garnish with cilantro. Transfer the sauce in a bowl and clean the pan with a paper towel and reheat the pan. Slice the steak into 1 inch slices and return to the pan. Top the steak with butter coating evenly. Cook till the desired doneness.
Serve with the blood orange sauce.
