Steak Frites Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fries

   Wash and cut the potatoes into thick strips. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Fry the Potatoes

   Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pan to 350°F (175°C). Drain and dry the potatoes, then fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Season the NY strip with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Add herb butter during the last minute of cooking and baste the steak.

4. 4

   Make Black Garlic Aioli

   In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with black garlic, adding salt and pepper to taste. Adjust consistency and flavor as desired.

5. 5

   Cook Garlic Prawns (optional)

   In the same skillet used for the steak, add garlic prawns and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the steak and serve with fries on the side. Add a dollop of black garlic aioli on the plate and top with garlic prawns, if using.
