Asian Five Spice Rub Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F.
• If you have whole chicken wings, cut off wingtips and cut the wings in half at the joint. Discard wingtips or freeze to make stock at a later time.
• Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle five-spice powder and cayenne on the wings, add a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of black pepper. Rub the mixture into all the wings until no more loose rub remains. Wash your hands.
• Line the wing pieces up on a baking sheet so the side of the wing that has the most skin is facing up. Roast until cooked through, browned and crispy, about 25 minutes. Serve hot with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce.
• Combine ingredients in mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients to incorporate them fully and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.

Finely grind toasted mixture in an electric coffee/spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Sift mixture through a coarse sieve into a bowl and stir in salt, five-spice powder, and ginger.
• Halve beef crosswise and sprinkle rub all over both pieces, pressing to adhere.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over moderately high heat until just smoking, then brown 1 piece of beef on all sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large roasting pan. Wipe skillet clean with paper towels and brown remaining beef in same manner. Arrange beef pieces 2 inches apart in roasting pan.
• Roast in middle of oven 25 to 35 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into centers of pieces registers 120°F. Let beef stand in pan on a rack 25 minutes. Beef will continue to cook as it stands, reaching 130°F (medium-rare). Discard string and slice beef.
