This meal is just right for Father’s Day or Fourth of July or any night of the week. Don’t be tempted to skip the sauce—like the steak, it takes only 10 minutes to prepare, and the ingredients complement the spices in the steak rub.

Serves 4
Ingredients
Spicy Green Salsa
Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Scallions
Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over the steak; drizzle with oil. Let stand, turning to coat evenly with oil halfway through, for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a grill to high; lightly oil the grates. Place the steak on the grill (fold thin end over so steak is an even thickness); cover. Cook, turning once, until the meat has reached the desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare.
Spicy Green Salsa
Step 3
Combine all ingredients with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. The salsa can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days; cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface to prevent discoloration.
Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Scallions
Step 4
In a large pot, cover the potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat. Simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp paring knife, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream and mayonnaise; add the warm potatoes, and gently fold to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. To serve, season the salad again with salt and pepper; fold in the scallions. Garnish with the bacon and more scallions, if desired.
