Steak

Frites (French Fries)

Chimi Sauce

Seasonal Vegetable

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Frites

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin fries. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.

Chimi Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Chimi Sauce

    In a food processor, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until well blended but still slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Seasonal Vegetable

  1. 6

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the tough ends of the asparagus. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Cook the Asparagus

    In a skillet, sauté the asparagus over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
