Ingredients
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp coarsely-ground black pepper
1 flank steak - (abt 2 1/2 lbs)
= (can use a sirloin steak)
=== CUMIN AIOLI ===
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 large egg
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tsp lemon juice
Directions
Mix the olive oil, salt, garlic and black pepper together in a small bowl.
Spread on both sides of the steak. Cover and refrigerate.
Dry-roast the cumin seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat until they
darken a shade. Remove from the heat. Finely grind half of the cumin
seeds in a spice or coffee grinder.
In a blender or food processor, combine the egg, Dijon mustard, salt,
garlic and the finely ground cumin seeds. With the motor on, add half of
the oils in a slow steady stream. Add the lemon juice and continue adding
the rest of the oil until the aioli is emulsified. If the mixture seems
too thick, add a spoonful or two of water. Scrape the aioli into a bowl
and stir in the whole cumin seeds.
Preheat the barbecue or broiler to high. Grill or broil the steak, 3 to 4
minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the heat and
let it rest for a few minutes. Slice very thinly across the grain and
serve with the Cumin Aioli on the side.

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many people claim that they really lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of balance that is a lot more healthy than normal, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not build up layers of fat. The most important process of the diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented this diet for people who have cardiac problems, based on his analysis of scientific data completed on other nutritional studies. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, oysters, low or fat free cheeses, pecan halves, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like black beans, cucumbers and snow peas. Brassicas, Healthy super foods that also help your Dieting (includes Kale, Cabbage, Tatsoi and Radishes) Altthough not always popular with children, these are packed with vitamins (eg.vitamin c), minerals (selenium and potassium, for example), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, isothiocyanates, and indole-3-carbinol. Over and above their many other health and weight loss benefits, the minerals, vitamins and nutrients in these are believed by doctors to reduce the risk of cancer. |
