Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Peel and slice the potatoes into thick rounds. Chop the onion, and dice the red bell pepper and tomatoes. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley.

2. 2

   Cook the Potatoes

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Season the beef steaks with salt and black pepper. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks and keep warm.

   Make the Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, red bell pepper, and bay leaves. Sauté until the vegetables are soft. Add the diced tomatoes and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for about 5-7 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine and Serve

   Return the steaks to the skillet, along with the cooked potatoes. Allow everything to heat through for an additional 3-4 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
