Ingredients

Techniques
- skirt steak
Trim most of the fat from the skirt steak.
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
In a zip-top bag combine about half a cup of soy sauce, three big cloves of garlic and about a tablespoon of coarse black pepper; mush to combine.
Add the steak, press out most of the air, seal, and massage to coat. Refrigerate a few hours, or leave out if cooking within half an hour.
- 2 whole potatoes
- water
Peel the potatoes, cut into even planks and then fries, dropping them straight into a bowl of water so they do not brown and so excess starch comes off.
- sour cream
- mayo
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 whole lime
- cumin
- 1 tbsp chalula
- salt
- pepper
White sauce: mix sour cream, mayo, three cloves of garlic, the juice of one lime, a little cumin, about a tablespoon of Cholula, salt and pepper; thin with a little milk if needed.
Garlicky white sauce
- 1 head cilantro
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- garlic
- 1 whole lime
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
Cilantro sauce: in a food processor, a head of cilantro with stems, about a third of a cup of olive oil, more garlic, another lime and about half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Blend, scrape down, blend again.
- avocado
- ½ lime lime juice
- minced chipotle pepper
- diced onion
- diced tomato
Guacamole: break up the avocado, leaving it chunky; add half a lime's worth of juice, salt, pepper, minced chipotle pepper, diced onion, diced tomato and a little cilantro, and mix.
Chunky guacamole
- oil
Dry the potatoes and fry a couple of handfuls at about 335 to 340 until just beginning to colour. Lift out and raise the oil to 370.
Grill the steak on a very hot grill about three minutes a side, keeping it medium rare, spooning a little extra marinade on top.
- kosher salt
Rest the steak. Lift out the fries, let the oil drip, and salt them with kosher salt right away so it sticks.
- 1 whole tortilla
Slice the steak against the grain, first shortening the strips, into thin bites; it reads about 131 degrees, medium rare.
- Monterey Jack cheese
On a warm tortilla layer the steak, Monterey Jack melted over it, cilantro sauce, white sauce, guacamole and a hand pile of fries.
