Join me and let's see how to make Steak Frites
Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Place a baking sheet in the oven to warm it up.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on the preheated baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the fries are golden and crispy, turning them occasionally.
Step 3
While the fries are cooking, season the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust the time for your desired doneness).
Step 5
In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, minced garlic, and fresh thyme to the pan. Baste the steaks with the melted butter.
Step 6
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 7
Serve the sliced steaks with the crispy fries, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Enjoy your homemade Steak Frites with your favorite sauce or condiments.
