Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Season the beef striploin pieces generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the striploin and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

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

Pan Jus Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same pan used for the steak, add chopped shallots and sauté until translucent.

  2. 5

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to release flavorful bits, simmer for 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Beef Stock

    Add beef stock and reduce the mixture for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in butter at the end and season to taste.

Fries Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Potatoes

    Cut the potatoes into fries and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested striploin and arrange it on a plate. Drizzle with pan jus and serve alongside the fries.
