Steak

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the butcher's steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season and Cook the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato sticks in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it is completely melted and hot, but not boiling.

  2. 7

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

  3. 8

    Combine the Mixtures

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Gradually whisk in the melted butter, a little at a time, until the sauce is thickened and smooth. If it becomes too thick, you can add a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.

  4. 9

    Season the Sauce

    Remove from heat and season with a pinch of salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
