Steaks With Rice

200 g minced steak
100 g long grain rice
40 g butter
2 eggs
1 medium-sized potato, parboiled in its skin, peeled and grated
1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
1 large sprig parsley, finely chopped
Salt and pepper

Lightly fry the rice in 15 g of the butter. Moisten with 20 cl boiling water, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes until all the water has been absorbed.

In a large bowl, mix the minced steak, eggs, potato, cooked rice, shallot, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 4 steaks.

Melt 15 g of the butter in a frying pan. Put the steaks in the pan and fry them on one side over a medium heat. Turn the steaks, add the remaining butter and fry them on the other side. The cooking time depends on your taste; the steaks may be rare or medium rare.
