Portuguese steak with ham and egg

Ingredients

• 4 beef steaks (150–180 g each)
• 4 cured ham slices
• 4 eggs
• 700 g potatoes
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 bay leaves
• 60 g butter
• 50 ml white wine
• Salt and pepper

Step-by-step method

1. Fry or roast sliced potatoes until golden.
2. Season steaks with garlic and pepper, using little salt because the ham is salty.
3. Heat butter in a frying pan and cook steaks on both sides to your preferred safe doneness; keep warm.
4. Add wine and bay to the pan and reduce slightly; briefly warm the ham.
5. Fry eggs and serve one over each steak with ham, sauce and potatoes.
