Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef steaks (e.g., sirloin or rump steak)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups white wine
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 pieces eggs
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1 to taste salt
- 1 to taste black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the beef steaks on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub the minced garlic into the steaks.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steaks and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the white wine and bay leaves. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the wine reduce by half.
Return the steaks to the skillet along with the butter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, basting the steaks with the sauce. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the eggs sunny-side-up until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
To serve, place each steak on a plate with a fried egg on top. Add a generous serving of fried potatoes on the side.
Drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the steaks and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
