Steak Frites Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Peel and cut the potatoes into fries. Rinse and pat dry. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

2. 2

   Cook the Steak

   Season the flat iron steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest before slicing.

3. 3

   Make the Whiskey Peppercorn Sauce

   In the same skillet used for the steak, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add whiskey, scraping up any bits from the pan. Let it reduce by half, then add heavy cream and peppercorns. Simmer until slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Prepare the House Ketchup

   In a bowl, mix together tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
