Beef steak with bacon and potatoes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Season the steak with pepper and salt. Let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Fry the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, until crispy, for 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a bowl. Add onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the onion to the bowl with the bacon. Grate the potatoes on a coarse grater. Rinse under cold water for 2 minutes. Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess liquid. Add them to the onion mixture, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over high heat. Place the potato mixture into the skillet, pressing it down with a spatula. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sear the steak on each side until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the potatoes. Serve hot.
