This hearty American dinner features a top round steak marinated in a vibrant mix of fresh lime juice, chili powder, and garlic for a spicy, aromatic kick. The steak is broiled to perfection, yielding a tender interior with a flavorful crust. It is paired with a comforting side of red potatoes and asparagus, gently simmered in chicken broth with sweet onions and ginger until fork-tender. The vegetables are finished with fresh parsley for a bright, herbaceous note. This dish balances rich beef flavors with earthy vegetables, making it an ideal choice for weeknight suppers or casual family gatherings. It is simple enough for busy evenings yet impressive enough for entertaining.Ingredients
Directions
-
Place the top round steak in a glass baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, chili powder, grated lime peel, and crushed garlic until well blended. Pour this marinade over the steak, turning to coat evenly. Let stand for 15 minutes, turning the steak once or twice to absorb the flavors.
-
Position an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler to high.
-
While the steak marinates, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and chopped ginger, cooking for about 3 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened.
-
Add the sliced red potatoes and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add the asparagus spears during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking if desired, or simmer them separately to maintain texture.
-
Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding the excess liquid. Place the steak on the rack of a broiler pan. Broil for 6 to 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is reached.
-
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for several minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Meanwhile, drain any remaining liquid from the potatoes and asparagus. Toss the vegetables gently with chopped parsley, salt, and ground pepper.
-
Slice the steak diagonally into thin strips. Arrange the sliced steak on a serving platter alongside the seasoned potato and asparagus mixture. Serve immediately while warm.
