Garlic Butter Steak & Fries (Print)

Tender garlic butter steak served alongside golden, crispy fries for a satisfying meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Steak

01 - 4 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks, about 8 oz each, room temperature
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Garlic Butter

05 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
06 - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
08 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
09 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
10 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Fries

11 - 1¾ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
12 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
13 - ½ teaspoon salt
14 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Position a wire rack over a baking sheet.
02 - Toss potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
04 - Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
05 - Heat a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to desired doneness.
06 - Transfer steaks to a plate, top each with a generous spoonful of garlic butter. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve steaks alongside fries with extra garlic butter as desired.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Perfectly seared steak with rich garlic-herb butter
  • Crisp golden fries that complement the steak
02 -
  • For extra crispy fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes then dry thoroughly before baking
  • Swap ribeye for strip steak or filet mignon if preferred
03 -
  • Pat steaks very dry before seasoning to ensure a good sear
  • Rest steaks after cooking to keep them juicy and tender
