Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into even sticks. Rinse and dry them thoroughly.
  2. Heat the frying oil to 170 °C and fry the chips for 5 minutes. Remove them, drain them, then fry a second time for 2 minutes at 180 °C until golden.
  3. Crush the garlic with a little salt, then rub the steaks with this paste, the pepper and the paprika.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat and sear the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on how cooked you like them. Then let them rest.
  5. In another pan, fry the eggs over medium heat until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
  6. Place one steak on each plate, top with an egg, and add the chips and a handful of salad.
  7. Squeeze the lemon over everything and serve immediately.

Variations and tips

Kids' version. Use thinner escalopes, which cook in 1 minute per side, and cut the chips into smaller sticks.

With what you can find here. The beef is easily replaced with chicken escalope or pork without any difficulty.
