1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips to make fries. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch and then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat a deep fryer or a large pot with vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, season with salt.
3
Prepare the Steak
Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
4
Cook the Steak
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Add butter and garlic during the last minute of cooking, basting the steaks with the melted butter.
5
Serve
Remove the steaks from the skillet, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the steak with the fries on the side, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
