Ground cumin does double duty in this super quick weeknight dinner. First, you’ll whisk the spice with grated garlic and olive oil to make a flavorful rub for skirt steak, which cooks perfectly in less than 10 minutes in a hot pan. And second, you’ll create a creamy finishing condiment by stirring cumin into yogurt with lemon juice and salt. Serve all of the components separately and have people build their own pitas so the flatbread doesn’t get soggy.
