Steps:

• Blend all ingredients except lamb chops in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Pat chops dry and transfer to a plate, then rub chops all over with 2 tablespoons charmoula and marinate, covered, at room temperature 30 minutes.
• While chops marinate, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
• Grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and let stand, loosely covered, 10 minutes.

Transfer coated lamb to sealable plastic bags and coat remaining meat in same manner. Marinate, chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Prepare grill.
• Season lamb with salt and grill in batches on an oiled rack about 4 minutes on one side, then 2 minutes on the other for medium-rare. (Alternatively, broil lamb under a preheated broiler 2 to 3 inches from heat.) Serve lamb warm or at room temperature.

• 1 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 3 whole cloves
• 2 tablespoons paprika (not hot)
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic

• 4 cups chopped fresh cilantro (4 large bunches)

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine parsley with cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, and saffron and pulse until herbs are finely chopped. Add lemon juice and olive oil; pulse to incorporate. Add salt.
• Scrape half the charmoula into a bowl and refrigerate. Scrape remaining charmoula into a large bowl with steak cubes; turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours.
• Light a grill. Cut onion and red bell peppers into 1-1/2-inch pieces. Thread 3 chunks of rib eye each onto long skewers, adding a piece of onion and pepper between each piece of meat. Grill over high heat about 15 minutes, turning skewers occasionally, until meat and vegetables are lightly charred and meat is cooked medium-rare to medium. Serve with reserved charmoula.

Steps:

• Place all but the meat in a blender and puree.
• Place in large zip lock bag add meat and marinade 4-8 hours.
• Remove from marinade and place sauce in pot and bring to boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
• Place 1 inch steaks on grill over medium heat. Grill, uncovered, 15 minutes for medium rare doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.) Carve steaks into thin slices. Or for the hungry man let them eat steak! ;) Season with salt and pepper, as desired serving with sauce.
