1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Rice

Rinse and cook the white rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.

Cook the Fries

Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Plantains

Slice the sweet plantains diagonally and fry them in the same oil until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Season and Cook the Steak

Season the beef steak with salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.

Fry the Eggs

In the same skillet, crack the eggs and fry them sunny-side up or to your preference.

Prepare the Salad

Slice the lettuce, tomato, onion, and mix them in a bowl. Squeeze lime juice over the salad and toss to combine.

Serve

On a plate, arrange the rice, fries, sweet plantains, and steak. Top with the fried eggs and serve the salad on the side.
