Paraguay and preparing one of its most traditional dishes, Bife Koygua, which is a steak dish topped with grilled onions and fried eggs. Here is my version of this dish.

• BIFE KOYGUA

Ingredients

4 New York steaks (any size you like)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 tablespoons butter

4 cups diced potatoes

1 cup fresh chopped herbs (parsley, cilantro and thyme)

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 large onions, sliced into rings

8 large eggs

Putting it together

Season the steaks with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and set aside.

In a large sauté pan over low heat, add the butter and the potatoes and cook for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Add the fresh herbs, garlic and smoked paprika and cook for another five minutes.

Sprinkle the steaks and onions with the vegetable oil and grill them until they reach desired doneness. When the onions and the steaks are done, begin to fry the eggs, trying not to break the yolks, since the yolk will become the sauce for the dish.

Serve each steak topped with some grilled onions, two fried eggs and a side of the sautéed potatoes.
