Spicy Steak Fajitas With Charred Chilli Salsa
In this recipe, you'll be coating your steaks in a spicy chipotle marinade, before searing them to perfection. You'll also make a zingy homemade salsa, with charred chillies, tomatoes and lime. Your wraps are then assembled 'Tex-Mex' style – with onions, peppers and a good dollop of cooling sour cream!

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Heat a dry, large wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat
Once the pan is hot, add your red chilli[es] and cook for 5-6 min or until charred all over then set aside for later
Tip: Open a window or turn your extraction on, as this may get smoky!
Meanwhile, add your chipotle paste, ground smoked paprika, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and ground cumin to a large plate with a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] vegetable oil and stir it all together
Add your rump steaks to the plate and give everything a good mix up until fully coated in the spices
Peel and finely slice most of your red onion[s] and finely dice the rest
Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips
Dice your tomato[es] finely and add them to the bowl with the diced red onion
Chop the charred red chilli[es] finely (don't like spice? Deseed your chillies!) and add to the same bowl
Add a drizzle of olive oil and the juice of your lime[s]
Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together – this is your charred chilli salsa
Return the pan to a medium-high with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the sliced onion and pepper with a pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 min or until softened
While the onion and pepper are cooking, heat another large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once very hot, add the rump steak[s] to the pan
For rare, cook for 2 min max on each side; for medium-rare, cook for 2-3 min on each side; for medium, cook for 3-4 min on each side
Once the steaks are cooked, transfer to a plate to rest
Slice the rested steak finely on a clean board, then add them to the peppers with any juices
Whilst the steaks are cooking, add your tortillas to a plate
Put the plate in the microwave and cook for 1-2 min, or until warmed through
Serve up the tortillas topped with the sliced steak, peppers and onions
Drizzle over your soured cream and charred chilli salsa
Enjoy!
