Lebanese Bifteck and Mashed Potatoes

By December 8, 2021March 4th, 2024No Comments

I mean, if this doesn’t remind you of your Lebanese childhood, i don’t know what does. This is exactly what i used to have, and still do, at my grandma’s house. She serves it with mashed potatoes and sometimes a lemony garlicky spaghetti. DELICIOUS

It’s a super easy recipe, especially when you haven’t cooked or planned your meal. Just make sure you tell your butcher you want a Bifteck cut or a steak cut pounded thin.

Ingredients
  

For the Bifteck
  • 1 kg Bifteck meat basically just ask for it at the butcher, or ask for steak that's pounded
  • 6 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter for extra deliciousness
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp soya sauce
  • 1 whole lemon juiced
For The Mashed Potatoes
  • 3 large potatoes peeled and cut into small chunks
  • 1/2 Cup milk or greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp butter or more
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste but go heavy so you don't get bland mashed potatoes

Method
 

Bifteck
  1. Marinate the meat with all the ingredients in the fridge for a minimum of one hour. You can even do it overnight
  2. Once ready to serve, heat a pan/griddle/whatever you want. Heat it extremely well.
  3. Place your steaks and let them cook on each side for around 4-5 minutes, depending on their thickness and how you like them cooked
  4. Once done cooking, pour over them the marination liquid and let them simmer for a minute
  5. Serve with the sauce
Mashed Potatoes
  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of heavily salted water for around 10-15 mins until fork tender
  2. Once cooked, drain and mash either in a rice masher or with a fork
  3. Add the oil, butter, milk, salt, and pepper and mix together until a creamy texture is achieved
  4. Taste it to see if it needs any more seasoning
