Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin or tenderloin
- 600 grams Russet potatoes
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 tablespoons Crème fraîche
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, evenly-sized cubes (approximately 1-2 cm).
Rinse the diced potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Dice the beef sirloin or tenderloin into small, bite-sized cubes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside to bring the meat to room temperature while preparing other ingredients.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onions.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 25 grams of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the potatoes in a single layer and cook until golden and crispy on all sides (about 15 minutes), stirring occasionally. Season with half of the salt and pepper. Transfer to a warm plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Lower the heat to medium and sauté the onions until they are soft and caramelized (about 10 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside with the potatoes.
Increase the heat to high and, in the same skillet, quickly sear the beef cubes for 1-2 minutes on each side, just until browned but still tender. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if necessary.
Return the cooked potatoes and onions to the skillet with the beef. Mix gently to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Place Dijon mustard and crème fraîche on the side, allowing each diner to add them to taste.
