Recipe of Steak Frites

Vida Recetas Editorial

Steak frites is an iconic dish from French and Belgian cuisine that combines a juicy steak with crispy fries. This recipe, of medium difficulty, is perfect for those looking for an elegant yet simple dinner. With simple ingredients like ribeye, russet potatoes, butter, and fresh herbs, you can achieve restaurant-quality results in your own kitchen.

The key is searing the steak over high heat to get a golden crust and a tender interior, while the potatoes are roasted in the oven until golden and crispy. The final touch with butter, garlic, and thyme adds an irresistible aroma that enhances the flavor of the meat.

Variations and tips

  • You can use other cuts of beef, such as tenderloin or sirloin, depending on your preference.
  • For the potatoes, you can opt to fry them instead of roasting, though this oven version is lighter.
  • Pair with a béarnaise sauce or a simple mayonnaise with mustard for an extra touch.
