Ingredients

Steak

2 sirloin or ribeye steaks, 250 g each
to taste salt and pepper

Frites

1 ½ lb potatoes, cut into batons
4 ¼ cups neutral oil, for frying

Herb butter

2 oz butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp parsley, chopped

Steps

Rinse the potato batons, dry them well, and fry at 150°C / 300°F for 6 minutes until soft but pale. Drain.
Mash the butter with the garlic, parsley, and salt and chill it.
Salt the steaks and sear in a screaming-hot pan 3 minutes a side for medium-rare, then rest 8 minutes.
Fry the potatoes again at 190°C / 375°F for 3 minutes until deep gold and crisp, then salt hard.
Slice the steak, top with the herb butter, and serve with the fries.
