Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chimichurri

In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Cook the Steak

Season the beef tenderloin filets with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the filets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

Prepare the French Fries

Cut potatoes into fries and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Serve

Slice the steak and serve with chimichurri sauce drizzled on top. Plate alongside the crispy French fries.
