Peppered Steak with Batatas à Murro

This Portuguese dish is called Batatas à Murro, meaning punched potatoes, is a beautifully crisp skinned potato covered with caramelised onions.
But don’t worry, their’s no need to train to prepare this dish as we will use a fork to crush the potato instead of punching its lights out!!
