I had one simple rule: no tatts or piercings until you’re 18. Yet this boy barely made it to the finish line–I did my best. But along the way he also learned to cook–really well. Here, skirt steak is seared and sliced, served in a rich and spicy yet light sauce (ginger, star anise flavored etc). You mash those luscious soft potatoes as you like for a very refined, “meat and potatoes” dish.
