Rosemary Steak-Frites

Treat Dad to a classic bistro favorite with this traditional rosemary steak-frites recipe. This dish features a perfectly cooked steak infused with aromatic rosemary, garlic, and butter, paired with crispy homemade fries. It's a simple yet indulgent meal that brings gourmet flavors to your Father’s Day dinner!

Ingredients (for 2 people):

• 2 8-oz ribeyes or sirloin steaks
• 2 sprig fresh rosemary
• 2 clove garlic, smashed
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• Salt, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Peel and cut the potatoes into thin, even sticks (about 1/4 inch thick).
2. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 min. to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 min. per batch.
5. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.
6. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
7. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the rosemary sprig and smashed garlic clove to the skillet.
8. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 min. on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
9. In the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
10. Place the steak on a serving plate and arrange the homemade fries alongside.
11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley? Serve immediately, and enjoy!
