Ingredients
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, to taste
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Potatoes
- 4 medium, cut into fries
- Steak (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
- 2 (8-ounce) cuts
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons, for basting
- Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon, optional for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and cut the potatoes into fry shapes. Place them in a large bowl and toss with vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the fries are baking, season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. If desired, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra kick of flavor.
- Heat a grill or skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the steaks to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness. Baste the steaks with the melted butter while cooking for additional richness.
- Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender bite.
- Serve the sliced steak on a plate alongside the crispy fries. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and enjoy the delightful flavors of this timeless dish.
Tips
- For an even crispier fry, soak the cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes before tossing them with oil and seasonings. This removes excess starch.
- Experiment with different cuts of steak; flank steak or tenderloin can also work beautifully.
- Serve with a side of garlic aioli or a mustard dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
