Description

Steak & potatoes and tacos--what a winning combination! Potato slices, onions, chilies, and thinly sliced flank steak are served in tortillas with pico de gallo.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, sliced
2 poblano chilies - stemmed, seeded, sliced
12 ounces white potatoes, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 (12 ounce) flank steak
Garlic powder
Chile powder
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
Chopped fresh cilantro
Pico de gallo and/or hot sauce

Directions

1 Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in heavy large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and chilies and saute until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to bowl (do not wash skillet). Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and saute until golden brown and tender, about 12 minutes. Return onion mixture to skillet with potatoes and keep warm.
2 Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of steak generously with garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned on both sides, turning once, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steak to cutting board; let rest 5 minutes.
3 While steak rests, heat tortillas on griddle or over gas flame until warm, turning frequently with tongs.
4 Thinly slice steak. Top tortillas with steak and potato mixture; sprinkle with cilantro. Serve passing pico de gallo and/or hot sauce separately.
