STEAK WITH FRENCH FRIES AND FRIED GREEN PEPPERS

Another extremely easy recipe, but just seeing the picture it makes my mouth water!

Ingredients per person: one 8oz beef steak (I have used for this recipe rum steak, but it can be rib eye, sirloin, etc), one large potato or two smaller ones, one or two peppers, olive oil and salt.

Peel the potatoes  and cut them with the typical french fries shape and we salt them. In a big frying pan put a couple of fingers depth of olive oil, enough to cover the potatoes. If needed we can do a couple of batches.

As I have explained in previous posts, the secret for the perfect french fries is to add the potatoes when the oil is still cold.

Once the potatoes are fried, we use the same oil to fry the peppers. We will need to cut them in slices or at least to pierce the peppers so they won’t explode. The peppers will be ready when you see they are soft, but be careful as they can turn brown and therefore overcooked quite quickly. We will add the salt after we fry them.

While the peppers are being fried we will grill the stakes in a different pan. I like my one very very rare. Once the steaks are ready salt them, if possible with coarse salt.

Bon appétit!
