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.

1.

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!

Step 1
2.

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

Step 2
3.

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

Step 3
4.

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

Step 4
5.

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

Step 5
6.

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
