Preparation

1. 1.
   In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the steaks and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. 2.
   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
3. 3.
   Place the potato wedges on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices of your choice. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
4. 4.
   Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. 5.
   While the potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
6. 6.
   In the same skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
7. 7.
   Serve the cooked steaks with the roasted potatoes and top each steak with a fried egg. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Steak — For a tender and juicy steak, make sure to let it rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more flavorful and tender meat.
• Potatoes — To achieve crispy roasted potatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This allows them to cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the cooked steaks before serving.
• If you prefer your eggs cooked differently, feel free to adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired level of doneness.
• You can customize the seasoning for the roasted potatoes by adding herbs such as rosemary or thyme, or spices like paprika or chili powder.
