Steak and Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Season the hanger steak generously with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sliced steak alongside the fries. Drizzle with bordelaise sauce and schug to taste.
