To mark our 50th anniversary, we collaborated with Patrón Tequila and Neil Perry to create a Mexican-themed birthday feast. 

Ingredients

Method

Main

1.Toast the chillies in a heavy-based frying pan over medium-low heat, turning and pressing them down frequently, until fragrant and blistered. Place chillies in a bowl, cover with cold water and soak until softened (about 30 minutes), then drain.
2.Place all the ingredients except the cutlets and limes in a blender with ½ cup of fresh water and ½ tsp sea salt, and process until smooth, adding a little more water if necessary to form a smooth purée.
3.In a bowl, coat the cutlets with the marinade and stand for 1 hour. Grill over charcoal or in a hot heavy-based pan until browned and cooked to your liking (about 2 minutes each side for medium rare), rest for 5 minutes, then pile on a platter and serve seasoned with a squeeze of lime juice.
