Steak

Butter-Whipped Cream Cheese

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle the hanger steak with salt and black pepper on both sides, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the seasoned steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Butter-Whipped Cream Cheese

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the whipped cream cheese to a serving dish and set aside.

Truffled Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin fries (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 8

    Season the Fries

    Drizzle the fried potatoes with truffle oil and sprinkle salt. Toss to coat evenly.

Garlic Aioli Preparation

  1. 9

    Mix Aioli Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt until well combined.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Transfer the garlic aioli to a serving dish and serve alongside the steak and fries.
