Start by preparing the beef steaks, using a meat mallet or any suitable object to flatten them slightly.

Season each steak with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add a small amount of minced garlic and oregano to each steak.

Drizzle a little vinegar over the steaks and mix well to coat them evenly.

Set the seasoned steaks aside to marinate briefly.

Heat oil in a skillet until hot for frying the potatoes.

Fry the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.

In the same hot oil, add the plantains and fry until they are golden and cooked through, then remove and drain.

In a separate skillet, heat a little oil and fry the seasoned steaks until they reach the desired doneness, ensuring they are nicely browned.

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest briefly.

Serve the steaks topped with the fried eggs, alongside the crispy potatoes and plantains, and optionally with a side of white rice and salad.
