Cuban Marinated Steak

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Montreal-style steak seasoning
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef rib-eye steaks

Instructions

  2. Place cumin seeds into a small skillet over medium heat; stir constantly until seeds turn dark brown and smell toasted, about 1 minute. Immediately pour seeds into a bowl to stop the cooking. Mix cumin seeds with orange juice, vegetable oil, steak seasoning, lime juice, and oregano in a bowl.
  3. Place steaks into a large resealable plastic bag, pour orange juice marinade over the meat, and squeeze out air. Seal bag and turn it over several times to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or longer for extra flavor.
  4. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  5. Remove steaks from marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard used marinade. Grill steaks on the preheated grill until seared on the outsides and still slightly pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the thickest steak should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let steaks rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

2003 Kitchen

This is our kitchen from 2003, when we lived on Tulls Creek Rd. in Moyock. Look at my sponge work on the wall 🙂 That was when I was still using the above-stove “crate” with things inside it.  I had used that on and off for years, starting in the mid-70’s, can you believe that? Other notable items include the antique Stangl plate, owl cookie jar, crock, and glass canisters, all which we still have. -LM

Upcycled Canisters for our Kitchen

I wanted to add some custom elements to our kitchen, and I decided on upcycling a trio of old wooden canisters. I found the perfect ones on eBay (where else?), and also found iron birds that were already painted and rusty– perfect! I distressed the wood with candle wax and cream paint, added the birds. Then I found a similar utensil caddy and a cool iron dove to place on it. They all will look even better once we get our backsplash in.
