Skirt Steak with Lemon and Chili-Roasted Potatoes

So the steak was "eh" - no flavor and I wouldn't "make" the steak again....however, the potatoes were super yummy!  I sprinkled a little Parmesan cheese on top of those - and it was perfect!  I would for sure make up the potatoes again - probably a different steak - with some actual marinade loveliness :)  I made this with Maple Glazed Spiced Carrots - perfect meal!!
Serves 4 - Real Simple Cookbook
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb new potatoes, halved
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
8 springs fresh thyme
salt and pepper
1 1/2 lbs skirt steak
1 lemon, quartered

Heat oven to 425.  In a roasting pan, toss the potatoes, oil, chili powder, thyme, salt, pepper.  Roast, stirring once, until golden brown and crisp.  About 45 minutes - transfer to plates.

Heat broiler.  Wipe out the roasting pan.  Season steak with salt and pepper and place on roasting pan.  Broil the steak to the desired doneness, 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare.  Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.  Serve with the potatoes and lemon.
