Ingredients
- 4 sirloin steaks cut to 1/2 inch thickness
- 4 cloves garlic, mashed
- salt, pepper, cumin and smoked paprika to tast
- 2 large onions, sliced thinly
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes. The Yukon needs to be peeled and thinly sliced.

Instructions
- Rub garlic on each individual steak. Season each steak with salt pepper, smoked paprika and cumin.
- Heat the olive oil in either a large frying pan or skillet.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and the potatoes into the frying pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper and the Sazon. Saute the onions and potatoes over medium to medium-high heat, until they are both very tender. It should take roughly 8-10 minutes. Once the onion and potatoes are tender remove them from the pan and place on a serving platter.
- Using the same pan place the steaks and cook them to the temperature you desire. If it is needed, add a little more oil to the pan when cooking the steak. When the steak is finished cooking set it along side the potatoes and onions.
- Fry the eggs, sunny side up, in a pan. You will want to leave the yolks soft and runny.
- Distribute the onions and potatoes among the four plates laying a steak on top of each plate. On top of each steak place one of your cooked sunny side eggs.
