Steak and Fries

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Wash and cut the russet potatoes into fries. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fries

    In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Season the skirt steak with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or skillet over high heat. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and place it on a plate. Drizzle with bordelaise sauce and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve alongside the rosemary fries.
