Ingredients
- Beef 1 kg
- Olive oil 2 tbsp
- Potato 500 g
- Garlic 1 clove
- 2.5% fat milk 100 ml
- Cream 100 ml
- Butter 1 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Nutmeg to taste
For the poached egg and serving
- Water 3 l
- 9% table vinegar 2 tbsp
- Chicken egg 1 pcs
- Parsley optional
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the meat, pat dry with a paper towel, and chop finely with a sharp knife. Rinse the egg and pat dry with a paper towel. Peel and rinse the potatoes and garlic. Chop the garlic with a knife or press it through a garlic press. Slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Prepare plastic wrap, foil, a grill pan, and a heatproof baking dish. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Step 2
Prepare the steak. Knead the ground meat by taking it in your hands and throwing it forcefully onto the table or into a bowl. This is needed for its elasticity. Season the meat with salt and pepper, mix. Form the steaks, place on a flat dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Remove the patties and brush them with olive oil. Heat a grill pan and fry the steaks for 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, place a little butter on top, and cover with foil for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Prepare the potato gratin. In a bowl, mix the cream with milk, nutmeg, season with salt and pepper, add garlic, and mix. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil. Arrange two layers of potatoes, pour the sauce over them, arrange more layers, and pour again. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used. Cover the dish with foil, place in the preheated 180-degree oven, and bake for 45-55 minutes. Let the finished gratin rest under the foil for 10-15 minutes.
TipCheck the gratin's doneness with a wooden skewer; the potato should pierce easily.
Step 4
Prepare the poached egg. Bring 3 liters of water to a boil. Add 2 tbsp of vinegar. Carefully crack the egg into a plate. The water in the pot should not be boiling; maintain a very low heat to keep the temperature. Slowly stir the water in the pot to create a vortex, then gently pour the egg into the center of the funnel. Cook for 3 minutes. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
Step 5
Place the steak on a serving plate, top it with the poached egg and a sprig of parsley. Place the potato gratin next to the steak.
