Steak

Chimichurri Sauce

Truffle Fries

Lemon-Garlic Aioli

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Pat the flat iron steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Chimichurri Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt.

  2. 5

    Let it Sit

    Allow the chimichurri sauce to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Truffle Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Cut the russet potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 8

    Season the Fries

    Drizzle fries with truffle oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper while they're still hot. Toss to coat evenly.

Lemon-Garlic Aioli Preparation

  1. 9

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and salt. Stir until well combined.

  2. 10

    Chill

    Refrigerate the aioli for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.
