Bobby Flay's 'Mesa Grill Cookbook': Spice Crusted Strip Steak
As any Iron Chef viewer can tell you, if Bobby Flay had a formula for success, it would look something like this:
Grilled (Meat) + (Chile Rub) + (Fruity Sauce) = Main Course.
Because I live in New York and can't grill a thing at home, I pan-seared these steaks (for the record, I think that there is no better way to prepare a steak than to grill it, but you work with what you have). Despite these transgressions, the sharp, gently spicy rub was a success and would be equally delicious on lamb or dark-fleshed pork as well.
