  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika 🌶️

For the Ranchero Sauce:

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes 🍅
  • 1 small onion, chopped 🧅
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional for heat) 🌶️
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin 🌿
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder 🌶️
  • 1/2 cup beef broth 🍲
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂🌶️

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare and Cook the Steak:

  1. Season the steak:
  • Rub the flank steak with olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper on both sides. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the potatoes.
  1. Sear the steak:
  • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the heat and let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

2. Cook the Potatoes:

  1. Roast the potatoes:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  1. Bake:
  • Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.

3. Make the Ranchero Sauce:

  1. Sauté the vegetables:
  • In the same skillet used for the steak, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, jalapeño, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent.
  1. Add tomatoes and spices:
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  1. Add beef broth:
  • Pour in the beef broth and simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.

4. Serve:

  1. Assemble the dish:
  • Slice the steak against the grain and serve it over the roasted potatoes. Spoon the ranchero sauce generously over the top.
  1. Garnish:
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions if desired.
