Cuisinart IB-5280A - Manual (Page 12)

2 teaspoons thyme
2 teaspoons marjoram
1 1 ⁄
2
teaspoons granulated garlic
1 1 ⁄
2
teaspoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon freshly ground (coarse) black pepper
3 ⁄
4
teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ⁄
2
teaspoon white pepper
1 beef flank steak, about 2 pounds
Place the salt, paprika, thyme, marjoram, granulated garlic, minced onion, black
pepper, cayenne, and white pepper in a blender or food processor and process
for 20 to 30 seconds. Makes about
1 ⁄
4
cup Spicy Rub.
Trim any visible fat from the flank steak, using a sharp knife. Score the meat
in a cross-hatch pattern on both sides – do not cut through more than
1 ⁄
16
inch.
Rub with 1 tablespoon of the Spicy Rub on each side (reserve the remainder
for another time). Let stand 15 minutes or longer.
Preheat Cuisinart ™ Griddler ™ on High-Sear. When ready, arrange the flank steak
on the grill. Grill for 6 to 10 minutes per side, moving the steak only to turn,
until steak is done to personal preference. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice on the diagonal, across the grain into thin slices. (A Cuisinart
® Electric Knife
makes this task easy.)

cup plain lowfat yogurt (may use fat free)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1-2 tablespoons chopped candied ginger
Place yogurt, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk

Refrigerate until ready to use. (If preparing more than one hour ahead, add a
whipped cream stabilizer, such as Whip-It
™ to the heavy cream when whipping,
to prevent it from weeping.This can be found in gourmet specialty food stores
and many well-stocked grocery stores.)
Slice bananas on the diagonal into 1 ⁄

ease in turning.
