Steak Frites Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then toss with grated Parmesan cheese.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Season the bavette steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat, add a little oil and sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

4. 4

   Make the Béarnaise Sauce

   In a saucepan, combine white wine vinegar and fresh herbs. Heat until reduced by half. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until frothy. Slowly whisk in the warm vinegar reduction and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Gradually add melted butter while whisking until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the steak and serve with parmesan frites and béarnaise sauce on the side.
