Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (10 oz)
  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (parsley or chives, finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the compound butter: In a bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped herbs. Form into a log using plastic wrap and chill.
  2. Cut and soak potatoes: Peel and slice russet potatoes into thin strips. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Cook the frites: Heat vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain and dry potato strips, then fry in batches until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes each).
  4. Sear the steak: Season ribeye with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side.
  5. Rest the steak: Allow the cooked steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  6. Serve: Plate sliced steak alongside frites, topped with a dollop of compound butter.
