Description
A classic French bistro dish, Steak Frites is served with a flavorful Argentinian chimichurri sauce for a zesty twist. Juicy steak is paired with crispy fries, creating a delicious and hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried oregano)
- 1/2 cup olive oil (for chimichurri)
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste (for chimichurri)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Soak potato fries in water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- Toss fries with a little vegetable oil, spread on a baking sheet, and bake for 30-40 minutes or until crispy and golden, flipping halfway.
- Season ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- To make chimichurri, mix parsley, garlic, oregano, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the steaks and serve with crispy fries and chimichurri sauce on the side or drizzled on top.
Notes
- For extra crispy fries, double-fry them or use an air fryer.
- Letting the steak rest before slicing helps retain juices.
- Chimichurri can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
