Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the hanger steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

Calabrian Chimichurri

  1. 2

    Make the Chimichurri

    In a bowl, mix together the chopped parsley, minced Calabrian chilies, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Bleu Cheese Crema

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bleu Cheese Crema

    In a mixing bowl, combine bleu cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Frites Preparation

  1. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato fries in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve with a generous drizzle of Calabrian chimichurri and a dollop of bleu cheese crema on top. Plate with freshly fried frites on the side.
