Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red-skinned potatoes, halved
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/4 pounds skirt steak
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus wedges for serving
Directions
Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch; add salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes, then drain.
Meanwhile, cut the steak crosswise into 8 pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the steak (in batches, if necessary) and cook until medium rare, 1 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil.
Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, a splash of water and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium high, add 3/4 cup water and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 4 more minutes. Stir in the potatoes, parsley and lemon juice. Divide the steak among plates and serve with the vegetables and lemon wedges.

This recipe can be hit or miss depending on your taste buds. The skirt steak turned out very delicious with just the simple salt, pepper, and searing in olive oil. The peppers and potatoes were just ok. The parsley can be overwhelming so I'd cut it maybe by a 1/3. At the end of cooking the veggies, add salt to taste.
