Five-spice London broil

Our combination of chili powder, paprika, cumin, pepper, and cinnamon makes a delectable coating for steak, pork tenderloin, or chicken. A classic blend of spices in Mexican cuisine, the cinnamon in the mix adds depth and mellows the bite of chili powder and cumin. You might think of cinnamon more in terms of a baking spice, but one bite of this super-flavorful beef, and you'll be hooked on using it in savory preparations. Broiling the steak lets you get a browned exterior and keeps the meat juicy at the center, similar to searing it in a hot skillet. It's also a no-fuss, little mess way to cook a steak. After letting it stand, slice this beef for best results, and serve it alongside some steamed green beans or asparagus topped with toasted almonds.
