1 |
Prepare vinaigrette:
In a blender, combine all ingredients except pepper and
oil. Pulse a few times, and then with motor running,
gradually add oil through hole in blender lid. Stop once
or twice to scrape down sides so that all ingredients
are incorporated. The dressing will thicken. |
|
2 |
Transfer to a bowl
and season generously with pepper. Add salt to taste.
Use within an hour of preparation. |
|
3 |
Prepare steak: In a
13x9-inch pyrex pan, stir together oil, vinegar, garlic,
oregano, cumin and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add steak and let
it marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally,
for up to 2 hours. |
|
4 |
Meanwhile, preheat
grill to high. When grill is ready, lift steak from
marinade (reserve marinade) and lay steak on the rack.
Cover and grill, turning once and basting occasionally
with marinade, until steak is done to your liking, about
9 minutes for rare, which is recommended. |
|
5 |
Transfer steak to
cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. |
|
6 |
Carve steak across
grain and at a slight angle to the cutting board into
very thin slices. Season to taste with salt and pepper
and arrange steak slices on plates. Serve immediately,
passing vinaigrette to drizzle on meat. |
