Description

Have you ever wondered why a simple plate of steak and fries at a fancy French bistro tastes so much better than the one you make in your own kitchen? This recipe brings that restaurant magic home with juicy, seared steak, zesty chimichurri, and perfectly crispy frites.

Ingredients

Scale
  • The Steak and Marinade:
  • 2 Steaks (Hanger, Ribeye, or Sirloin), 8-10 oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • The Crispy Frites:
  • 3 large Russet potatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying) or 3 tablespoons olive oil (for baking)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • The Chimichurri Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • The Side:
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Cut potatoes into 1/4 inch strips. Soak in cold water for 20 minutes to remove starch, then pat completely dry.
  2. Sear the Steak: Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season room-temperature steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side. Add crushed garlic and rosemary during the flip.
  3. Rest the Meat: Remove steak and let rest on a cutting board for at least 8 minutes to keep juices inside.
  4. Cook the Fries: Fry in 325°F oil for 5 minutes, then increase heat to 375°F and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Alternatively, bake at 425°F for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Roast the Asparagus: Toss asparagus with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until slightly charred.
  6. Assemble: Slice steak against the grain. Plate with fries and asparagus, spoon chimichurri over the meat, and garnish fries with fresh parsley.

Notes

Always slice your steak against the grain to make it easier to chew. For the crispiest fries, ensure they are bone-dry before they hit the oil. The chimichurri flavors improve if made a day in advance.
