Main Ingredients

For Papas Machas

For Salsa Borracha

Method

Preparation of Hanger Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, season the hanger steak with salt and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Preparation of Papas Machas

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Season and Roast

    Once cooled, cut the potatoes into wedges. Toss them with olive oil, paprika, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes until crispy.

Preparation of Salsa Borracha

  1. 6

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine tomatoes, chipotle peppers, garlic, small onion, cilantro, and water. Blend until smooth.

  2. 7

    Cook the Salsa

    Pour the blended salsa into a saucepan and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Grilling the Vegetables

  1. 8

    Char the Onion

    Cut the large onion into thick slices. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred.

  2. 9

    Grill the Limes

    Cut the limes in half and place them on the grill, cut side down, for about 2-3 minutes until they are charred.

Serving

  1. 10

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the rested hanger steak against the grain. Serve with the roasted potatoes, grilled onions, charred lime, tortillas, and salsa borracha on the side.
