1 Tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons toasted and ground cumin seeds

Ricotta Salata Salsa Verde:

1 teaspoon oregano leaves, minced
2 Tablespoons chives, minced
1 Tablespoon tarragon, minced
2 medium shallots, minced

Methods/Steps

Marinate Steaks: In a food processor or blender; combine all of the marinade ingredients and process to blend. In a large, shallow dish or bowl, pour the marinade over the steaks and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. If you're pressed for time, place the steaks (in batches) in an instant marinator.

Grill Steaks: Remove steaks from the marinade, pat dry and season with salt. Grill the steaks on a ridged grill pan over high heat until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Alternatively, grill on one side, transfer to a sheet pan and finish cooking in a 400ºF oven for 5 minutes.

Make Salsa Verde: Add chopped parsley, mint, oregano, chives, tarragon, shallots, garlic, capers, olive oil and lemon juice to a medium bowl. Mix with a fork. Gently stir in crumbled ricotta Salata. Add salt and pepper.

Serve: Serve steaks with a generous dollop of the salsa verde.
