Steak

Brandied Dijon Cream

Hand-Cut Fries

Garlic Aioli

Method

Cooking the Steak

  1. 1

    Season and Heat

    Rub the hanger steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Sear the steak in the hot skillet for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

Preparing the Brandied Dijon Cream

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and brandy. Cook over medium heat, stirring until slightly thickened. Stir in chopped chives.

Making Hand-Cut Fries

  1. 4

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel and cut russet potatoes into thin strips. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Making Garlic Aioli

  1. 6

    Mix Aioli

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Stir until well combined.
