1

Start by preparing the beef roast, which is a piece of beef from the hind quarter, specifically the high rib.

2

Cook the potatoes a day before, then cut them to hold together better when frying.

3

Slice the onions into rings, about 1.5 mm thick, and mix with flour and paprika before frying in fat.

4

Chop some garlic and prepare beef broth, bacon cubes, and red wine (Blaufränkisch).

5

Add a bit of butter to a pan and sauté the onions gently, adding a pinch of sugar to help caramelize them without burning.

6

Once the onions are golden brown, add a spoonful of mustard and deglaze with red wine, allowing it to simmer with the onions.

7

In another pan, heat some fat and add the beef roast, cooking it medium rare, about 2 minutes on each side, while also preparing the fried potatoes.

8

For the fried potatoes, add them to the pan and let them cook without too much stirring to get a nice crust.

9

In a separate pan, add fat and sauté the chopped onions and garlic for the bacon beans, then add the bacon and season with chili salt and thyme.

10

Allow the bacon beans to cook in their own juices until done.

11

Check the beef roast's temperature, aiming for around 52°C, and let it rest briefly before slicing.

12

Finish the fried potatoes by adding more onions and seasoning with spices, then add butter for richness.

13

Plate the dish by placing the fried potatoes, bacon beans, and sliced beef on a plate, topping with the onion sauce and garnishing with fresh herbs.
