For the Fries

  • Cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cut potatoes into thick, even fries. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp paprika, and salt until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 220°C (425°F) for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  2. Slice the 500g beef steak into thin strips against the grain. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp oregano. Mince 3 garlic cloves fresh and set aside with the 1 tbsp soy sauce.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips and let them brown for 2-3 minutes without stirring. Stir, sprinkle the seasoning blend over top, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until mostly cooked through.
  4. Push the cooked beef to the side and add the sliced bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow) and 1 small sliced onion to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and 1 tbsp soy sauce, stirring everything together for about 1 minute until fragrant. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
  5. Chop the lettuce, slice 1 cucumber, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Just before serving, dress the salad with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Arrange lettuce on the plate as a bed, then add cucumber slices and tomatoes in a neat line. Add a generous portion of golden fries to one side, then top with the garlic steak, peppers, and onions. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Notes

Slice the beef against the grain for more tender pieces. Use fresh minced garlic rather than jarred for the best flavor. Keep the salad dressing separate until just before serving to prevent wilting. You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less paprika and black pepper to suit your taste.
