Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium (about 12 ounces each) New York strip steaks
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 2 whole, smashed garlic cloves
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Scrub the russet potatoes clean and pat them dry. Cut them into evenly sized matchstick fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy. Check for even browning and adjust cooking time as needed.
While the fries bake, bring the steaks to room temperature and season both sides generously with the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes on the first side until a crust forms.
Flip the steaks and immediately add the ghee, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprig to the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted ghee and aromatics for about 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-10 minutes, tented with foil to retain heat.
To serve, plate the crispy fries beside the seared steak. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy this hearty, Whole30-compliant dish.
