directions
- TO PREPARE SALSA: Place the chiles and tomatoes under the broiler and, turning them often, blacken the skins.
- Stem and seed the chiles, coarsely chop them together with the tomatoes, and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Heat a saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions to the pan and dry-roast for 10 minutes, turning often.
- Add the garlic and dry-roast for 10 minutes longer.
- Remove the onion and garlic from the pan, let cool, and then coarsely chop.
- Add to the mixing bowl together with the cumin, cilantro, lime juice, sugar, and salt, and mix together.
- Set aside at room temperature.
- (If not using within 1 hour, refrigerate and bring to room temperature before using.) TO PREPARE MARINADE: Thoroughly combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Rub the mixture on both sides of the steaks and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- TO PREPARE PAPAS: Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- Drain and transfer the potatoes to a bowl of ice water until they are completely cool.
- Drain the potatoes again, dry thoroughly, and cut into quarters.
- Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and toss with the oil, chives, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes on the hot grill and cook for about 10 minutes, or until light brown and crisp.
- Keep warm.
- TO PREPARE STEAKS: Preheat the broiler.
- Grill the steaks for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare or about 6 minutes per side for medium; the marinade will give the exterior of the steaks a little crispness.
- TO SERVE: Place the steaks in the center of each warm serving plate and spoon the salsa next to the steaks.
- Place the potatoes next to the steaks and salsa.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
