Shawarma-spiced Prime Skirt Steak Frites Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Frites

   Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

2. 2

   Cook the Frites

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, season with salt.

3. 3

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, combine za'atar, berbere, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the skirt steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Steak

   Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

5. 5

   Prepare the Red Wine Jus

   In a saucepan, combine red wine and beef stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce the sauce by half. Stir in butter until melted and smooth.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the skirt steak and serve it over the frites, drizzled with red wine jus and topped with crumbled feta cheese.
