Bistec a lo Pobre - Steak and Potatoes With Fried Eggs

Gather the ingredients.

Bring vegetable oil to 360 F in a large pot and preheat the oven to 200 F. Peel and cut the potatoes into french fries while waiting for the oil to heat.

Cook fries in hot vegetable oil until golden. Drain on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels, season with salt, and place in the oven to keep warm.

Pour the excess vegetable oil carefully into a separate container, leaving about 3 tablespoons in the skillet, or use a new skillet.

Sauté onions in the vegetable oil until soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove onions and place in a shallow pan or casserole dish, and place in the oven with the french fries.

Chop the garlic finely. Season one side of the steaks with salt and pepper and sprinkle with half the chopped garlic. Pound steaks with a meat hammer to flatten them, then flip them and repeat on the other side with the remaining garlic.

Sauté steaks on high heat, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked to desired doneness. Place steaks over onions and return to the oven.

Add a little oil to the skillet and fry the eggs, sunnyside up. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Remove the potatoes, steak, and onions from the oven while the eggs are cooking. Distribute the onions among 4 plates, top with a portion of the fries, and lay the steaks on top. When the eggs are ready, top each steak with a fried egg. Serve immediately.
