Steak

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Rinse in cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette and toss.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Fries

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the sliced steak alongside the crispy fries and the prepared salad.
