1
Prepare the Steak
Season the skirt steak with Szechuan peppercorns, black pepper, and sea salt. Ensure the steak is evenly coated on both sides.
2
Heat the Grill or Pan
In a large skillet or on a grill, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Cook the Steak
Add the seasoned skirt steak to the pan or grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4
Prepare the Frites
While the steak is resting, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble French fries.
5
Fry the Frites
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Season the Frites
In a small bowl, mix the wasabi powder with a bit of water to create a paste. Sprinkle the wasabi paste over the frites. Crush the nori sheet and sprinkle it over the frites for added flavor.
7
Serve
Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve alongside the wasabi & nori dusted frites. Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the frites or serve on the side for dipping.
