Ingredients for Grilled Bavette Steak Frites

Method

Directions for Grilled Bavette Steak Frites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the bavette steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make Herb & Shallot Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots, parsley, and thyme. Cook until shallots are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fries

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Fry the cut potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  4. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Brush the grill with olive oil. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and place on a plate. Top with the herb & shallot butter and serve with the crispy fries, watercress, and a side of aioli.
