KIMCHI STEAK FRIES

🥩🔥 Kimchi-Topped Mexican Steak Strips with Crispy Broasted Potatoes & Matching Sauces 🌶️✨

1️⃣ Overview & Purpose of the Dish (10/10) 🌿

This Kimchi-Topped Mexican Steak Strips dish is a luxurious fusion of high-quality, perfectly seared steak, tangy probiotic-rich kimchi, and crispy, golden broasted potatoes. The steak strips are sourced from the finest cuts, marinated in a bold Mexican spice blend with hints of citrus, smoked paprika, and garlic, then grilled or seared to perfection for a smoky, charred bite.

Served with crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside broasted potatoes (or an even better alternative like ghee-roasted baby potatoes), this dish balances heat, crunch, umami, and richness. Three matching sauces—spicy kimchi crema, roasted jalapeño salsa, and a bright herb-lime chimichurri—enhance every bite.

🌟 Why This Dish?

✅ Premium Mexican Steak Strips – Buttery-soft yet smoky and charred for the ultimate umami.

✅ Tangy Kimchi for a Fermented Probiotic Kick – Cuts through the richness with natural acidity.

✅ Crispy Broasted Potatoes for the Perfect Crunch – Golden on the outside, fluffy inside.

✅ Three Matching Sauces for Maximum Depth – Creamy, spicy, and herbaceous balance.

✅ Healing Herbs & Spices for Flavor and Wellness – Turmeric, holy basil, and cilantro support digestion and boost health.
