Mojo-ish Steak & Batatas
"Although ‘batata’ refers to potatoes in general in some Spanish-speaking countries, in this context, we’re focusing on a type of white sweet potato widespread throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. In this twist on steak and potatoes, cubed batatas are first boiled and then baked at high heat to achieve a crispy exterior and creamy, sweet insides. If you can’t find batatas, sweet potatoes will work just as well and be just as delicious. A mojo-adjacent marinade, heavy on the sour orange and garlic, shows up twice, once to marinate the steak and again to toss with our cooked batatas. Skirt steak is ideal for this dish as it remains tender and flavorful even after marinating for a few hours in the acidic mojo marinade." -César Pérez

My my my 😍🥰 What a gorgeous plate!! I’d try to eat slow & not devour it all. I might have to do some push ups or lift weights to deal with the Batata 💪🏾🤣.

[@cesar.ramon.perez.medero]

You can use the batata as a weight beforehand because it was HEAVY!

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]
