Chilli beef jacket potatoes- method!
Step 1
Turn the oven on to 200°C (180°C for fans) or Gas 6. Add salt and pepper to the potatoes after rubbing them with two tablespoons of oil. Use a fork to prick them all over. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the interior is fluffy and the exterior is crisp.
Step 2
Concurrently, combine the spices in a medium-sized basin. Take out and save two tablespoons of the spice mixture. Toss to coat the meat after adding it to the bowl.
Step 3
Bring a big frying pan to a high temperature. When the beef is browned and just done, add the remaining oil and cook it for 30 to 40 seconds on each side. Then, transfer it to a platter and put it aside.
Step 4
Cover the pan with a lid, add the onion and pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until barely softened. After two more minutes of frying with the garlic, chilli, and saved spice mix, add the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the sauce is slightly reduced and the meat is cooked, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Cook for a further minute, or until the steak is cooked thoroughly, after adding the liquids. Add the coriander after seasoning with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise after they are soft, then distribute them among the plates. Add a dollop of sour cream, some shredded cheese, and a couple slices of jalapeño on top after spooning the chilli beef on top.
That is it! 6 simple steps and your chilli baked potatoes are ready!
