Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 lb beef tenderloin, sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 2 large onions, sliced into rings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 red bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 2 green bell peppers, sliced into strips
- Vegetable oil for frying
Special Equipment Needed:
- Large skillet
- Deep-fryer or deep skillet for frying the peppers
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add the sliced beef tenderloin to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
5. While the beef is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and fry until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt to taste.
6. In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. In a small skillet, fry the eggs to your desired level of doneness.
8. To serve, divide the beef and onion mixture among four plates. Top each plate with a fried egg and a serving of crispy fried peppers. Serve the fried potatoes on the side.
