Steak

Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio

Sauces

Frites

Method

Cooking the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the New York strip with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the steak. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Making the Frites

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 5

    Prepare Heirloom Tomato Carpaccio

    Slice heirloom tomatoes thinly and arrange them on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with fresh basil.

  2. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested steak and place it on the plate next to the tomato carpaccio. Add a generous amount of bordelaise sauce and bearnaise sauce on the steak. Serve with frites on the side.
