Steps:

• Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over a medium flame. Add mustard seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns and grains of paradise, and cook until fragrant and lightly toasted, 1 to 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Do not let burn.

STEAK TANDOORI

• Place the spices in spice grinder and coarse grind, running the machine in short bursts. Work in the salt, hot pepper, and cayenne. This will give you about 2/3 cup rub-more than you need for this recipe, but it's easier to roast the spices in larger batches and the excess keeps well and is terrific to have on hand.
• Cut the steaks into pieces about 2 inches wide and 4 inches long. Spray or brush the meat on all sides with the olive oil and generously season with the rub. Note: you may not need all the rub; any excess keeps well in the refrigerator. Skewer the steak pieces through the narrow end onto Homdoor skewers or shish kebab skewers.
• Preheat the Hōmdoor to 500 degrees F.
• Place the steak in the Hōmdoor and cook until sizzling and browned on the outside, and cooked to taste, about 5 minutes for medium-rare.
