Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Steak

    Season the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest.

Pommes Frites Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

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

Demi-Glace Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Demi-Glace

    Finely chop shallots and sauté in a saucepan over medium heat until translucent. Add red wine and reduce by half. Add beef stock and simmer until thickened. Stir in butter before serving.

Béarnaise Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Béarnaise Sauce

    Melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and white wine vinegar. Gradually add melted butter while whisking until thickened. Stir in fresh tarragon and salt.
