  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin

  • 1 tspn ground coriander
  • 1/4 cup soft brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all spice rub ingredients in a large bowl and mix to combine. Season steaks with a generous pinch pf salt and spice rub all over, let sit at room temperature fpr 20-30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, for the parsnip fries, pre-heat oven to 425 F degrees with a large sheet pan inside. Toss the cut parsnips with all of the remaining ingredients and mix well. Carefully arrange the parsnips on the hot sheet pan in one singe layer and cook for 25-35 minutes, or until well browned on both sides. There is no need to flip the fries unless they are getting too much color on one side.
  3. For the steak, pre-heat a cast iron pan just under high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil for 2 minutes.
  4. Sear the meat for 2 minutes, flip, and transfer the entire pan to the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes for medium rare, internal temperature of 130 degrees F.
  5. Take the meat out of the pan and let rest on a clean plate under tin foil for 5 minutes so the juices can re-distribute. Serve the steak with the fries and enjoy!
