🛒 Ingredients

✓ 300g russet potatoes, cut into 1cm wedges
✓ 1 tbsp olive oil
✓ 1 tsp smoked paprika
✓ ½ tsp garlic powder
✓ ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
✓ Sea salt to taste
✓ 280g skirt or flank steak
✓ 2 tbsp lime juice
✓ 1 tbsp soy sauce
✓ 1 tsp cumin
✓ 1 clove garlic, minced
✓ 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
✓ ⅓ cup 0% Greek yogurt
✓ 60g reduced-fat sharp cheddar, grated

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep & Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, cumin, minced garlic, and 1 tbsp cilantro. Rub beef all over with marinade. Let sit for 15–20 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the fries.

2. Bake the Potato Wedges: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Toss wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 28–32 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crispy.

3. Sear the Carne Asada: Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan to high heat (smoking point). Sear beef 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain into ½cm strips.

4. Make the Yogurt Crema: Whisk Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp lime juice, ½ tsp salt, and a pinch of cumin until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust seasoning.

5. Assemble the Fries: Transfer hot baked wedges to a serving plate. Top with sliced carne asada, drizzle with yogurt crema, and scatter grated reduced-fat cheddar over the top.

6. Finish & Serve: Garnish with remaining fresh cilantro. Serve immediately while fries are hot and crispy. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
