Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 F

Spices

Mix the garlic, olive oil and salt in a flat cake pan. Measure out the cumin, coriander and peppercorns into the base of a spice grinder. Grind them to a powder. Pour ground spices into the pan with the garlic paste; add paprika, cinnamon and cloves. Stir to combine with a fork.

Steak

Trim the steak of silverskin, leaving most of the fat. Rub steak with spices.

Pumpkin Seed Salsa

Put pepitas, garlic, cilantro, parsley, cinnamon, lime juice, olive oil and salt in bowl of food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Grill

Preheat outdoor grill or stovetop grill to medium-high. Place steak on the hot grill and cook about 2 minutes until a nice crust forms, being careful not to burn the spice crust. Turn and cook additional 2 minutes. Transfer meat to a sheet pan; place in oven and finish cooking, about 5 minutes.

Serve

Slice steak on the bias into thin strips and against the grain. Serve immediately with a dollop of Pumpkin Seed Salsa and a sprig of cilantro.
