Steak Frites* Recipe

Prepare the Fries

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

Fry the Potatoes

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the potato strips in batches (do not overcrowd) and fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste.

Season the Steak

While the fries are cooking, season the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Prepare the Creole Butter

In a small bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, and creole seasoning until well combined. Set aside.

Cook the Steak

In a skillet over high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned ribeye steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.

Add the Creole Butter

In the last minute of cooking, add the creole butter to the skillet and allow it to melt over the steaks, basting the meat with the flavored butter.

Rest the Steak

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board before slicing.

Serve

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve alongside the crispy fries. Garnish with chopped parsley for added flavor.
