Steak

Cajun Compound Butter

Pommes Frites

Method

Preparing the Cajun Compound Butter

  1. 1

    Make the Compound Butter

    In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, and chopped parsley. Mix well until fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape and Chill

    Transfer the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape, twisting the ends to seal. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Cooking the Pommes Frites

  1. 3

    Prep the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to make fries.

  2. 4

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and achieve crispiness.

  3. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 6

    Fry the Potatoes (First Fry)

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 7

    Fry the Potatoes (Second Fry)

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 8

    Season the Steak

    Pat the hanger steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 9

    Cook the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 10

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain. Serve it alongside the crispy pommes frites and a generous dollop of the Cajun compound butter on top of the steak.
