Dirty Skirt Fajitas

Who doesn’t like nachos as a snack and why not make them even better with some dirty cooked skirt steak.

If you’ve never tried steak cooked directly on the charcoals, then this should be your first go. Skirt steak is a very cheap piece of steak so you don’t need to worry about cooking it this way.

Skirt on top of nachos is very decadent,  served with some home made salsa and guacamole, and your in for a real treat.

This recipe is based on the one from Genevieve Taylors book Foolproof BBQ, it’s a cracking little cook book.

Method

1. Setup your Egg for a direct cook at 200°C. 
2. Warm a Tefal Ingenio pan or a cast iron pan. 
3. Add 1.5 tbsp olive oil, garlic and cumin seeds. 
4. Fry for about 2 minutes.
5. Add the black beans and cook for about 10 minutes.
6. Squash your beans with the back of a spoon to make a chunky paste.
7. Take the pan off and set it aside. 
8. Remove your stainless grid and rake the coals a little with your ash tool to knock off any ash. 
9. On a plate oil your steak on both sides with 1.5 tbsp olive oil. 
10. Sprinkle the chipotle and salt over your steak.

12. Turn your steak and knock off any charcoal pieces that are stuck to it. Cook for a further 3 minutes.

18. Add these to the top of the nachos as well as the spring onions.
