A full flavoured hearty dish that’s slow cooked in the oven for meat that will melt in the mouth. Deliciously moreish and spicy, it’s great for batch cooking and full of goodness.
Serves 4-6.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
600g skirt steak, trimmed and sinew removed, cut into strips
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of pepper
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp cumin

Method:
