Before cooking the beef let it rest at room temperature for over an hour. Do not discard marinade but set aside. Fry steaks in oil in a pan over medium to high heat until almost done. Transfer beef and pan juices to a plate and set aside.

Add more oil to the pan, if needed, and fry onion rings until tender and browned. Set aside. Add more oil, if needed, and fry potatoes until cooked through. Set aside.
