Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

1-1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 beef top sirloin steak (1 inch thick and 1-1/2 pounds)
6 slices Havarti cheese
1/3 cup salsa verde

Directions

In a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle, combine the first five ingredients; grind until mixture becomes a fine powder. Rub over both sides of steak.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 8-11 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Top with cheese; cover and grill for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Top with salsa. Yield: 6 servings.
