Ingredients

• 4 pieces Beef steaks (sirloin or ribeye, trimmed)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 4 servings French fries (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, freshly chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef steaks with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides. Let them sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside, loosely covered with foil to keep warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Add the bay leaf and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cook for 2-3 more minutes to reheat the steaks and infuse them with the sauce. Remove the bay leaf and turn off the heat.

Step 6

In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up using a small amount of oil or butter. Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 7

To serve, place each steak on a plate, top with a fried egg, and drizzle some of the garlic wine sauce over the steak. Serve alongside a generous portion of crispy French fries. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
