Portuguese Bitoque—Steak, Egg & Fries

Ingredients

• 2 steaks (4 oz each) beef sirloin or ribeye steaks
• 1.5 cups frozen french fries
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, cauliflower)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup beef broth
• 3 tbsp butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 60 seconds.

2. 2

   Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Sear 90 seconds per side without moving until deep brown. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Add frozen fries and vegetables to the same skillet, season with salt and pepper, cook stirring often until vegetables are tender and fries start crisping, 6–8 minutes.

4. 4

   Push vegetables to the sides. Add beef broth and remaining 2 tbsp butter, scraping up any brown bits. Return steaks to the pan.

5. 5

   Make two wells in the vegetable mix and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve hot with steaks topped by fried eggs and vegetables scooped around with all the pan gravy drizzled over.
