How to cook deliciously - Steak with warm lettuce and poached egg
1. Stage
Let's start with the meat. Peel a piece of meat, remove all membranes and veins. Some people like to freeze the meat for convenience, but I think that if you freeze the beef, it may lose its juicy charm. You can also put the meat through a meat grinder, but it breaks up the fibers and loses the juice. So, it's best to sharpen your knives.
2. Stage
First we cut a piece in slices, slices - in slices, slices - in small cubes. Chop the sliced meat with a knife for a few minutes, stirring from time to time. Salt and spice it up, mix it with your hands and beat it a little, i.e., strongly beat the minced meat on a board. As a result, the minced meat will become viscous and elastic, and the steak won't fall apart or lose its shape while frying. Transfer it to a bowl, cover with cling film and put it on a window sill somewhere.
3. Stage
Now make the dressing for the salad. Mix honey with mustard, add lemon juice, garlic, salt and spices. Mix well.
4. Stage
Cut potatoes into cubes about 1x1 cm, boil them in salted water until tender. Onion is sliced into petals (first into quarters, then each one more lengthwise), bell peppers into squares. You can add celery stalks, if you like. Heat the butter, fry the onions until golden, so that they crisp. Add the peppers, let them brown, at the end put the potatoes and take them off the heat. Pour the sauce and leave to rest under a closed lid.
5. Stage
Let's do the poached egg. It's not such a bad thing, you know. Put the kettle on. We carefully crack the egg in a separate bowl. It's important that the yolk remains intact. When the water boils, we pour it into a saucepan, add salt and vinegar. As soon as the water starts boiling again, use a whisk to make a funnel and carefully pour out the egg. The white envelops the yolk before our eyes. Real magic :) We turn down the heat, the water should not boil much. We boil the egg for 2.5 minutes. We take it out with a slotted spoon.
6. Stage
Back to the meat. Form the steaks and fry on a hot frying pan without oil. Each side for 3-4 minutes. If you want full frying, increase the time to 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
7. Stage
Put a salad on the plate, a poached egg on top, and steaks next to it. Accompany as you wish :)
