(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. baby red-skinned potatoes
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 1 scallion, roughly chopped
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs. flank steak
  • Black pepper

Directions

  1. Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes; drain.

  2. Meanwhile, combine the parsley, scallion, jalapeno, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 2 tbsp. olive oil, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a mini food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

  3. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add 1 tbsp. olive oil. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned, 5-6 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.

  4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil and the potatoes to the same skillet; gently smash the potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Top with the parsley sauce and serve with the potatoes.
