📝 Preparation Steps
1
Finely dice the onions and sauté them in a pan with a little oil over medium-low heat until they are deep golden brown and caramelized, then set aside.
2
Season the beef steaks generously on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes.
3
Drizzle the seasoned steaks with vegetable oil and the juice of half a lemon, massaging the marinade into the meat.
4
Prepare a grill for high-heat cooking (ideally over wood or charcoal for authenticity).
5
Grill the steaks for 4 to ⏱️ 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a rich crust forms and the desired internal temperature is reached.
6
Remove the meat from the heat and let it rest for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes before carving into thin strips.
7
Place the bread slices on the grill briefly until lightly toasted.
8
Assemble the sandwich by placing a slice of cheese on the bottom toast, followed by a generous portion of sliced steak, a layer of caramelized onions, another slice of cheese, and the top piece of toast.
9
Return the assembled sandwiches to the grill for 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes per side until the bread is perfectly toasted and the cheese has melted.
10
Peel and grate the potatoes using the coarse side of a hand grater.
11
Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and stir to release excess starch; drain and repeat until the water runs clear.
12
Finely dice the onions and sauté them in a small amount of oil until softened and translucent.
13
Place the washed potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze vigorously to remove as much moisture as possible.
14
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the flour, salt, and black pepper until a smooth paste forms.
15
Fold the squeezed potatoes and the sautéed onions into the egg mixture until thoroughly combined.
16
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
17
Spoon portions of the potato mixture into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form pancakes.
18
Fry for 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes per side until the edges are dark golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
19
Drain the pancakes on paper towels and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
