Ingredients

2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
1/4 cup tamari aged soy sauce
2 limes, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, eyeball it
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
2 pounds flank steak
2 1/2 to 3 pounds Idaho potatoes, 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Salt
1/4 to 1/3 cup cream
1 to 2 tablespoons wasabi paste - how hot do ya like it?
4 scallions, root end trimmed
Handful cilantro leaves

Directions

Preheat a grill pan or indoor/outdoor grill to high.

Combine ginger, tamari, lime juice, oil and grill seasoning in a large sealable plastic bag. Add meat to marinade and coat evenly. Let stand 10 minutes then grill meat 6 to 7 minutes on each side.

Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, salt the potatoes and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain potatoes and add them back to the hot pot. Smash the potatoes with a masher to desired consistency with the cream and wasabi. Adjust salt, to taste.

While potatoes and meat cook, finely chop the scallions together with cilantro and lime zest.

Let meat rest 5 minutes then thinly slice on an angle against the grain. Serve meat on mash potato mounds with a garnish with a generous sprinkling of the chopped scallion-cilantro-lime zest.

Delicious with the mint!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Maybe the mint is not authentic but it added a delicious flavor. If every chef just made authentic dishes, how boring. That's... what makes these guys such awsome cooks. I would highly reccomend following the recipe as is the first time then if you want to modify it go ahead. It's sad to think so many peiole will miss out on such a great dish based on one reviewers comments. Thanks Bobby for the great recipe and keep them coming!Read more

Can't remember the last meal I had that would top this one.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Most excellent! Everything was perfect! The only change I made was to substitute the flank steak w/ sirloin because it was... on sale and I'm not a big fan of flank steaks. Pair it with a nice dark beer (we had an oatmeal stout with it). Loved the beans from this episode too!Read more

AWESOME MARINADE!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

~The marinade in this recipe is SO easy & SO SO GOOD!! The ginger & lime give it a great citrus zing! ~We could have done... w/ or without the potatoes. they were good & different but nothing compared to how good the meat was! ~You GOT to make the cilantro/lime/green onion topping! It really adds to the meat as a topping sprinkled on it. -I will DEF use this recipe again in the future! TIPS- ~I suggest marinating the meat for no less than 1 hour. (I marinated it for almost 2 & it was fabulous.) ~MAKE SURE you cut the meat as directed-AGAINST the grain!! Otherwise it will be tough due to the type of meat cut a flank steak is. If you fail to do so you could ruin what is a GREAT meal! Read more

STEAK IS TO DIE FOR!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I only made the steak and not the potatoes but WOW it was amazing. The only thing I did different was I made the marinade... (minus the lime juice) the night before and marinated the steak overnight then about 10 mins before cooking I added the lime. The steak was so tender and WHAT A FLAVOR!! My husbands exact words were" Honey this is the best meal you have cooked recently!" So we loved it and will 100% make this again!! Read more
