Steak

Beurre Maître d'Hôtel

Pommes Frites

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the steak cuts with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Beurre Maître d'Hôtel Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Butter

    In a bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined and form into a log shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.

Pommes Frites Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

  2. 5

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Drain and dry the soaked potatoes, then fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.
