🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Steak:
2 New York strip steaks 🥩
Salt and black pepper to taste 🧂
2 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1/2 cup unsalted butter 🧈
8 garlic cloves, smashed 🧄
Fresh rosemary & thyme sprigs 🌿
For the Frites (Fries):
3 russet potatoes 🥔
Water
Frying oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

🍳 Instructions
🔥 Perfectly Seared Steak:
1️⃣ Let the steaks sit at room temp for 30 minutes—this makes them juicier!
2️⃣ Season generously with salt & black pepper.
3️⃣ Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once sizzling hot, add the steaks.
4️⃣ Sear on all sides until a deep golden crust forms.
5️⃣ Lower heat, add butter, garlic, rosemary & thyme. Baste the steaks continuously for incredible flavor!
6️⃣ Cook to your preferred doneness:
Medium Rare: 130°F (54°C)
Medium: 140°F (60°C)
Medium Well: 150°F (66°C)
7️⃣ Let the steaks rest under foil for a few minutes to lock in the juices.
🍟 Crispy Golden Frites:
1️⃣ Slice the potatoes into thin sticks (about 1/4 inch thick).
2️⃣ Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes—this removes excess starch for extra crispiness!
3️⃣ Pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
4️⃣ Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot.
5️⃣ Fry in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and perfectly crisp.
6️⃣ Drain on a paper towel & season immediately with salt and pepper.
🍽️ Serve & Enjoy!
Plate up that juicy steak with a pile of crispy frites and your favorite dipping sauce—garlic aioli, Dijon mustard, or classic ketchup.
✨ Pro Tips:
🧈 Flavor Boost: Keep basting the steak with butter for that restaurant-quality richness!
🍟 Ultimate Crisp: Double-fry the potatoes—first at 300°F to cook through, then at 375°F to get them extra crispy.
🌿 Aromatic Touch: Toss some sage or extra thyme into the hot butter for an irresistible aroma.
