Steak

Sauce (Optional)

Method

Preparing the Chips

  1. 1

    Peel and Cut Potatoes

    Peel the large potatoes and cut them into thick strips to form chips.

  2. 2

    Soak the Chips

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

  3. 3

    Dry the Chips

    After soaking, drain the water and pat the chips dry with a clean towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the dried chips to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt to taste.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 6

    Season the Steak

    Generously season the 8oz sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 7

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

  3. 8

    Cook the Steak

    Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  4. 9

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a plate for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve alongside the crispy chips.

  2. 11

    Add Sauce

    Offer a choice of BBQ sauce, chimichurri sauce, or peppercorn sauce for drizzling over the steak.
