Best Recipe for Spiced and Grilled Steaks With Citrus Chutney
Ingredients
- 1/2 grapefruit, thinly sliced, seeds removed
- 8 ounces kumquats, sliced, seeds removed
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground coffee
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 4 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil (for grilling)
- 2 hanger steaks, center membrane removed, each cut into 4 pieces
- A spice mill or a mortar and pestle
Instructions
- Bring grapefruit, kumquats, shallot, sugar, salt, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and lowering heat if needed, until citrus is soft and liquid is syrupy, 45–60 minutes. Stir in vinegar and let cool. Cover and chill.
- For the steak and assembly: Toast coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool, then finely grind in spice mill or mortar and pestle. Mix ground coriander, coffee, salt, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and pepper in a small bowl. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Season steaks generously with rub (you’ll have some left over). Grill steaks, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked to desired doneness, 8–10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with citrus chutney.
