Chili Rubbed Flank Steak with Oven Roasted Potato Wedges

I have not indulged in good old steak and potatoes dinner in a few weeks and was anxious to satisfy my craving. Yesterday, I was preoccupied all day long working to complete a small project inside my house, which I did not finish until late in the day. Therefore, I had a relatively small window of time in which to prepare a tasty and satisfying meal.

I had a small flank steak in the freezer which I partially thawed in the microwave, being careful not cook the ends of the meat. I made a dry rub of chipotle chili powder, ancho chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. I lightly oiled the outside of the steak and rubbed the spice mixture liberally all over the meat and set it aside while I prepared the rest of my dinner.

For the oven roasted potato wedges I used two medium sized red potatoes which I washed and dried and cut first in half and then each half into wedges. I placed the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and sprinkled in some of the same spice mix I used to marinate the steak and drizzled in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Tossing well to evenly distribute the spices I tumbled them out onto a baking sheet and roasted them in a 425 degree oven for about 30 minutes. While the potatoes were cooking, I shredded about 1/4 cup of monterey jack cheese, a few tablespoons of finely minced onion and a few sprigs of fresh cilantro. I removed the potatoes from the oven and piled them up on eachother and topped them with the cheese and onion and placed them back in the oven for another 5 minutes until the cheese melted. When ready to serve I garnished them with cilantro, hot sauce and sour cream.

I preheated a cast iron skillet over medium heat and cooked the flank steak for about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Flank steak has a tendancy to curl up during the cooking process which prevents even cooking. To prevent that I used a bacon press which added just enough weight to keep the meat flat and create a nice crust. Let the steak rest for 10-15 min. and slice very thinly against the grain.
