If you have been following our TGIF series, then this will be an extra special treat.  (In the summer, I think we can grill any day of the week!)  I created this recipe for New York Strip steak especially to pair with Texas Ranchero Beans, the newest flavor of Bush’s Best Grillin’ Beans.  In fact, I recently spoke about these beans as well as many other savvy summer entertaining tips on several morning television and radio shows throughout the country.  Check out the segment from Great Day St. Louis!

I like how this recipe for “Toasted Cumin-Rubbed Steak” blends sweet and smoky, plus it pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of the Texas Ranchero beans.  Simply grill up a few mangos and dust with chili powder for a unique and healthy side dish.  Keep this recipe handy for the upcoming 4th of July weekend!

Toasted Cumin-Rubbed Steak with Chili-Dusted Mango and Texas Ranchero Grillin’ Beans

1 teaspoon whole cumin seed

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 New York strip steaks, about 6-8 ounces each

1 can Bush’s Texas Ranchero Grillin’ Beans

1 large mango, peeled and sliced into 4 lengthwise pieces

2 limes

chili powder for dusting

1.  Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.  Place cumin seeds in skillet and toast seeds, shaking pan frequently, until seeds are lightly browned and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.  Place seeds in a mortar and pestle and coarsely crush; or place on a work surface and crush with a rolling pin.  Place the seeds in a small bowl.  Add the brown sugar, salt, and black pepper; toss to combine.

2.  Prepare outdoor grill for steaks.  Coat both sides of steaks with brown sugar-cumin mixture.  Grill steaks, turning once, for about 5 minutes per side for medium or until desired doneness.  Let steaks rest for about 8 minutes before serving.

3.  While steaks are grilling, place beans in a saucepan to warm.  Place mango slices in a bowl and squeeze on the juice of one lime.  Cut remaining lime into 4 wedges and set aside for garnish.  After removing steaks from grill, place mango slices on grill, and grill about 1-1/2 minutes per side.

4.  To serve, place each steak on serving plates.  Spoon about 1/2 cup hot beans onto each plate.  Place a grilled mango slice on each plate and dust mango with chili powder. Garnish each plate with a lime wedge and serve.  Serves 4.
