Steak and Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the fries

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin strips. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Fry the potatoes

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain and dry the potatoes, then fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

  3. 3

    Prepare the steak

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Grill the steak

    Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make garlic butter

    In a small pan, melt butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the steak and serve it alongside the fries, drizzling the garlic butter over the steak.
