Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 12 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tsp herbs de Provence
• 4 rump steaks
• 1 kg potatoes

• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 eggplant(s)
• 1 zucchini

• 400 g sour cream
• salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Rinse the beef steaks in lukewarm water and pat dry thoroughly. Make a marinade from 8 tablespoons of olive oil and the herbs de Provence, marinate the steaks in it and let it warm to room temperature. Wash and peel the potatoes, if you prefer, or just wash and cut into wedges. Cut the eggplant into pieces and place them in a bowl with the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then place on a deep baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for 15 minutes on the middle rack. In the meantime, wash and chop the onions, garlic, zucchini, bell peppers and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and toss with 2 tablespoons of oil. After 15 minutes, add them to the baking tray with the potatoes and eggplant and bake for another 20 minutes. About 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, heat a pan and add the marinated steaks. Cook, turning frequently, until cooked to your desired doneness. Then arrange the vegetables on plates with one steak each and 100g of sour cream.
