Grilled Steak with Charmoula

Charmoula, a traditional North African sauce, contains a full palette of herbs and spices, from the green of cilantro to the red of paprika and cayenne to the gold of turmeric. This bright, heady paste is delicious slathered on roasted potatoes and omelettes or used as a dip for warm pita bread. Here, it’s used as an exotic finish for simple grilled steaks.
