Steak Frites Ingredients

2 pieces Ribeye steak

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs Butter

2 cloves Garlic cloves

2 sprigs Fresh thyme

4 medium Potatoes

4 cups Tuscany sunflower oil

1 tbs Parsley

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips to make fries. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

Fry the Potatoes

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil 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. Season with salt.

Cook the Steak

Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust according to your preference.

Add Flavor

In the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic, and thyme to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics.

Rest the Steak

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Serve

Plate the fries and steak together. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
