SUNNY'S EASY CUMIN-RUBBED STEAK WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• For the steaks: In a small bowl, combine the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over both sides of each steak and rub into the meat. Rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Once the steaks have rested, heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle pan on medium-high heat. Drizzle the steaks with olive oil on both sides, then add the steaks to the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook on the second side just 2 minutes more, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks to a plate, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the cucumber salad: In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, sugar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and whisk together until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add the cucumber, radishes, red onion and jalapeno if using. Toss and let sit at room temperature while the steaks are resting. Serve the steaks topped with the cucumber mixture.

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Fill a large pot with cold water; add the potatoes and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are just fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then cut into halves or quarters depending on the size

• For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the mustard, vinegar, olive oil and sugar until the sugar granules dissipate into the dressing. Add the scallions and stir.
