Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 pounds / 900g)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound flank steak (450g), thinly sliced against the grain
- Juice of 2 limes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 100g)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh pico de gallo
- 1 avocado, sliced or diced
- Fresh lime wedges
- Optional: pickled jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prep the potatoes by washing and dicing into 1-inch cubes. Toss them in olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet without crowding. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- While the potatoes roast, mix lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the flank steak slices and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil, then sear the steak slices in a single layer for 3-4 minutes per side until charred but juicy. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the bowl by scooping crispy potatoes into a bowl, layering with sliced carne asada, shredded cheddar, sour cream, pico de gallo, and avocado. Finish with fresh lime wedges and pickled jalapeños if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the contrast of crispy potatoes and tender carne asada.
