Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Cook the Fries
Preheat the oven or fryer according to package instructions for the frozen French fries. If using a fryer, fill it with vegetable oil and heat to 350°F (175°C). If baking, spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil. Bake until golden and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes.

Grill the Steak
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
