Steak Frites is a classic French dish that consists of a grilled steak and crispy french fries. It is a simple and delicious meal that is popular in French brasseries and restaurants.
Ingredients:
For the steak:
- 2 beef steaks (ribeye or sirloin)
- Salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
For the fries:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
- To make the fries, rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove any excess starch. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the potatoes in small batches until they are crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the fries from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
- Keep the fries warm in the oven while you cook the steak.
- To cook the steak, season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the steak with the hot fries and any additional sides of your choice.
