800g skirt steak
40ml olive oil
3 cloves garlic, diced
Juice of ½ lime
2 tbsp chipotles en adobo (stewed Mexican chillis)
Salt and pepper to season
For the potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
500g new potatoes, sliced in half lengthways
diced shallots 2
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 green chillies, de-seeded and finely chopped
½ cup water
1 small handful of chopped coriander
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste
Extra olive oil to drizzle
Cut steak in to 1cm strips across the grain and marinate in the remaining ingredients for at least half an hour.
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the potatoes and season. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, coating the potatoes in oil. Add shallots, garlic and chillies and fry for a few more minutes. Add the water, cover pan and cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally until the water has absorbed and the potatoes have cooked, add more water if needed. Take off heat, add lime juice and coriander and a drizzle of olive oil. Check seasoning.
Meanwhile heat a frying-pan on a high heat until smoking and then add a splash of olive oil. Fry the strips of steak in batches, cooking them only a minute or two on each side (depending on their thickness).
Serve the steak rare or medium rare with the potatoes and a green salad.
