A Word of Advice

Cumin should be one of those spices whose top contains small holes for sprinkling and not one large opening for pouring. Cumin is not one of those spices whose top contains small holes.

Amazingly enough these observation did not ruin the steak tacos I made last night for dinner. I thought it was going to after I dumped a bleeding ton of cumin into the marinade. I furiously scooped to dig some of the excess out but cumin blends with oil really, really quickly. In any case the grilled steak ended up tasting really good, making the tacos fantastic. I was super pleased. The marinade was quite simple and came from a grilling cookbook put out by the people who make Weber Grills I think, that B bought last week. The marinade was basically lime juice, canola oil, cumin (but you already knew that didn't you?) garlic (not nearly as much as was on the pork the other day thank goodness), ketchup, brown sugar, pepper, coarse salt, and that's about it. I cut the meat into strips before dumping it into the marinade since it was going to be sliced for tacos anyway and let it marinate for about an hour before throwing it on the grill. 10 minutes on the grill and excellent steak tacos were had.
