Steak Frites

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

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
