Ingredients

For the potatoes

2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp corn syrup
1 tbsp olive oil
300g bintje potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm dice
2 spring onions, cut into rounds
¼ tsp Korean chilli powder
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

For the marinade

1 tbsp gochujang
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp castor sugar
2 tbsp sake
1 clove garlic, minced
⅛ tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp corn syrup
1½ tbsp Korean chilli powder
pinch black pepper

For the steak

400g grass-fed skirt steak
½ cup coriander leaves
1 tsp sesame oil
sea salt
2 spring onions, cut into rounds
½ tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Method

Step 1
For the potatoes, place the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water, corn syrup, olive oil, potato and spring onion in a saucepan over high heat and cover with a lid. When the mixture starts to boil, turn down to a simmer until the potatoes are almost cooked (about 4 minutes). Add the Korean chilli powder, black pepper and garlic, turn off the heat and mix together. Put aside and keep at room temperature.
Step 2
For the marinade, mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add the skirt steak and cover, marinating for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight if possible.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan or grill to a medium-high heat, and cook marinated steak for about 5 minutes on each side. (You can also cook over charcoal for a nice smoky flavour.) For medium-rare steak, rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Place the steak on a board and cut into 1cm slices down the length of the skirt. Move to a large plate and top with the potato salad.
Step 5
Toss the coriander and sesame oil in a bowl and sprinkle with sea salt, place it on top of the potato, sprinkle with spring onion rounds and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
