Welcome to cooking with buffalo, today we are making Bistec a lo Pobre.

Gather ingredients: beef steak, potatoes, onion, eggs, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, salt, and red chili powder.

Marinate the beef steak with garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, salt, and red chili powder. Mix well with hands to ensure all pieces are coated.

Let the marinated steak rest while preparing the potatoes and onion.

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin slices for crispiness, then soak them in water to wash.

Heat oil in a pan for frying the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the hot oil and fry until crispy, listening for the sound of them frying.

While the potatoes are frying, cut the onion into feather-like slices.

In another pan, heat oil and add the marinated steak. Seal the steak on both sides until cooked to desired doneness, ensuring it doesn't dry out.

Remove the steak and set aside. In the same pan, add more oil and the sliced onion. Sauté the onion until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Add a splash of white wine to the onions and continue cooking until the wine reduces and the onions are caramelized.

Return the steak to the pan with the onions, mixing them together. Add a little more white wine for extra flavor and moisture.

In a separate area of the pan, add the eggs, cooking them sunny-side up until the whites are set and yolks remain runny.

Remove the fried potatoes from the oil and drain them. Serve the steak topped with the caramelized onions and a fried egg, alongside the crispy potatoes.
