Steak

Shoestring Fries

Peppercorn Sauce

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the AAA striploin steak with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.

Fries Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Fries

    While the steak rests, peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin shoestrings. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Peppercorn Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the steak, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and sauté until translucent. Stir in crushed black peppercorns and cook for another minute. Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer, reducing the broth by half. Stir in heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens. Season with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve the Dish

    Slice the rested steak against the grain and plate it alongside the shoestring fries. Drizzle peppercorn sauce over the steak and serve immediately.
