French Fries

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steaks

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 5

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Garlic Aioli Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press.

  2. 8

    Mix the Aioli

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 9

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the aioli and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
