Ingredients

Steak:

3-4 NY Strips or Ribeyes
3-4 Fresh Eggs
1.5 tbsp Kosher Salt
1.5 tbsp Black Pepper
1.5 tbsp Garlic Powder
1.5 tbsp Canola Oil

Potatoes:

2 cups Chopped Potatoes parboiled
1.5 tsp Kosher Salt
1.5 tsp Black Pepper
1.5 tsp Garlic Powder
1.5 tbsp Canola Oil

Crispy Green Chili Oil:

2 Shallots thinly sliced
4 Garlic Cloves thinly sliced
4 Thai Green Chilis finely diced
¼ cup Chopped Cilantro
⅛ cup Sliced Scallions
2 tbsp Chopped Mint Leaves
1.5 tbsp Sesame Seeds
1 cup Canola Oil

Instructions

Crispy Green Chili Oil:

Preheat a grill for medium heat (around 325F) for direct cooking.
Add a cast iron skillet to the grill with 1.5” deep oil and bring the oil to 225-250F.
Add your thinly sliced shallots and garlic to the oil and fry until golden brown (about 10-15 minutes).
Once done, pull off, pat dry and set to the side.
Strain the oil from the skillet and add more oil if necessary to have 1 cup of oil in the skillet.
Heat up the oil to 450F or until it begins to smoke.
Add the green chilis, chopped cilantro, sliced scallions, chopped mint and sesame seeds to a safe high temperature bowl. Once the oil is hot enough, slowly pour it over the top of the greens and let fry.
Let the oil cool (about 10 minutes), then add the fried shallots and garlic to the bowl and stir. Set to the side until ready to serve.

Parboiled Potatoes:

Preheat a high heat fire for direct cooking (around 400F).
Add a ceramic dutch oven over the fire with 4 cups of water to heat until boiling.
When the water is boiling, add the baking soda to the water and stir.
Next add your potatoes and boil until half way cooked (about 10-15 minutes). When the potatoes can be poked with a fork but there is a little resistance, then they are ready.
Pull them out and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Steak, Potatoes & Eggs:

Lather your steaks with oil and season thoroughly with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Get your fire for direct cooking at medium high heat (around 375F).
Add your steaks to cook over the flames for 3-3.5 minutes per side or until they reach 120F internal.
Once the steaks are done, pull them off and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Add a skillet over the fire and add some canola oil. Add your potatoes to cook until nice and crispy (about 8-10 minutes).
When the potatoes are done, push them to one side of the skillet and add more oil to the opposite side. Drop in your eggs to the hot oil and cook to your desired liking.
Pull the skillet off and keep warm.
Slice the steaks up, add to the skillet and top with the chili oil. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

What's so special about Crispy Green Chili Oil?

It's a twist on the classic Southeast Asian Crispy Chili Oil, but the chilis are less spicy but still crispy and fresh. If you can't find these green beauties in your local grocery store, the next best idea is to find your nearest Asian grocery store or another international food market. You can also source large quantities of Fresh Thai Green Chili online.
