Steak Frites Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

2. 2

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Season the Denver steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

4. 4

   Prepare Sauce Au Poivre

   In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and sauté until translucent. Carefully add brandy, if using, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add beef stock and reduce by half. Stir in heavy cream and simmer until thickened.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the steak and serve alongside the fries, drizzled with sauce au poivre.
