Flank steak is seen on many Latin tables across the country and all served in their own unique way," Linares says. "I like to make mine a little different and still keep the traditional flavors of Cuba, starting with a Jamaican curry rub accented with ground cumin and Chinese ginger. This really elevates the flavor and gives it a beautiful crust when seared; the palate goes through a beautiful dance of great flavors, like dancing a good salsa.
