Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 pound Sirloin or ribeye steak
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary sprig
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks (around 1/4-inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, which will make them crispier.
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel. Place them back into the dry bowl.
Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and pepper. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to prevent overcrowding.
Bake the fries in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the fries are baking, pat the steak dry with paper towels to promote a good sear. Season both sides with black pepper and dried thyme.
Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the steak in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Reduce heat to medium and cook to your desired doneness, about 3-5 more minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
In the last minute of cooking, add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and rosemary sprig to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter mixture over the steak to baste it.
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve the steak hot with the crispy oven-baked fries on the side. Enjoy a flavorful, low-sodium meal!
