Steak Frites* Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Start by making the fries. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

2. 2

   Soak the Potatoes

   Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3. 3

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Remove the potatoes from water, pat them dry with a towel, and fry in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Prepare the Hanger Steak

   While the fries are frying, season the hanger steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

5. 5

   Cook the Steak

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

6. 6

   Prepare the Bordelaise Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the Bordelaise sauce and heat it until warmed through, scraping up any brown bits from the pan.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve it on a plate with a generous portion of frites. Drizzle the Bordelaise sauce over the steak and add a dollop of Dijon mustard on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley.
