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. |
