What is Harissa?

Harissa is a spicy chili paste from Tunisia. It is made with roasted red peppers, chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, and spices like cumin, coriander, and caraway. People add some flavor to it and heat it with food, which tastes like a marinade or sauce for steak.

Best Cuts of Steak for Harissa Marinade

A bit of explanation of the best steak cuts for a Harissa marinade

1. Ribeye

Ribeye is one of the juiciest and most flavorful cuts of steak because of its rich marbling (fat throughout the meat). This fat keeps it balanced with Harissa’s bold and spicy flavor, making it a great choice for grilling.

2. Sirloin

Sirloin is a leaner cut that balances good tenderness and a beefy taste. The fat quantity is less than the ribeye, which helps keep it moist and flavorful.

3. Flank Steak

Flank steak is a thin cut that makes it easy to marinate and easy to absorb all flavors well. This cut gives the best result in cooking and taste and slices it thinly against the grain.

4. Skirt Steak

Skirt steak is similar to flank steak with thin and flavourful. Typically it is ideal for grilling or stir-frying after marinating.

5. New York Strip

The New York strip is a firm steak with some fat and a rich beefy flavor. Marinating it with Harissa makes it tastier and keeps it juicy when grilled or cooked in a pan.
