Red wine steaks with crispy potato

Prepare to impress your guests with a delightful combination of red wine-marinated steaks and crispy potatoes. This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or whenever you're craving a tasty, restaurant-quality meal at home. The tender beef fillets are infused with the rich flavors of red wine, rosemary, and garlic, while the crispy potatoes provide the perfect accompaniment.

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef Fillets:
- In a large bowl, combine the red wine, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic.
- Add the beef fillets to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For best results, marinate for up to 4 hours.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Cut them into thin wedges or slices as desired.
- Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. You may also line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.
3. Cook the Beef Fillets:
- Once the potatoes are nearly done, remove the beef fillets from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
- Heat a grill pan or a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with the cooking spray oil.
- Add the beef fillets to the hot pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes off the heat before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
4. Serve:
- Arrange the crispy potatoes on plates and place a beef fillet alongside.
- Optionally, drizzle any leftover marinade (that has not been in contact with raw meat) over the steaks or use it to create a quick sauce by simmering it for a few minutes until it reduces and thickens.

With a few simple ingredients and some easy-to-follow steps, you can create a delicious and memorable meal. The red wine steaks are full of flavor, made even better by the aromatic rosemary and garlic. Paired with the perfectly crispy potatoes, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection.

How long should I cook the steaks for medium-rare doneness?

Cook the beef fillets for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side in a preheated grill pan or skillet for medium-rare. Adjust the time slightly for your preferred level of doneness.

What type of potatoes works best for this recipe?
