Colombian Exchange

Directions

1. 1
   Peel rinse and marinade the potatoes in salsa verde for at least two hours, preferably over night. Marinade the meat for 1-5 hours in lemon juice and salt.
2. 2
   Wipe marinade off the potatoes and boil, then recoat with just a little salsa verde. They dont need to be swimming in it. Wipe off the steaks, apply salt and peppar, and fry for 2 min on each side - longer if you want them well done.
3. 3
   Serve potatoes with garlic butter, and pour salsa verde on the steak. Thats the meal. And just to point it out: Salsa and potatoes are both from the New World and cows (which make both steak and butter) are European.
4. 4
   Drink: 1 part Absinth (french) 1 part aguadiente (colombian/bolivian/peruvian) splash of jalapeno hot sauce(mexican) and 2 parts green soda(u.s.) Served on the rocks.
5. 5
   If you figure out the secret ingredient and happen to have it in your pantry its best enjoyed at the start of the meal. Enjoy:-)
