Garlic Butter Steak & Fries (Printable)

Tender seared steak paired with aromatic garlic butter and crispy, golden fries for a satisfying meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Steak

01 - 4 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks, approximately 8 oz each, at 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

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
02 - Toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until fries are golden and crisp.
03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
04 - Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
05 - Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Sear the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust time to your preferred doneness level.
06 - Transfer the steaks to a plate and top each with a generous spoonful of the chilled garlic butter. Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes.
07 - Plate the rested steaks alongside the golden fries, offering extra garlic butter on the side.
