Directions
PREP 🥒
Just before cooking, remove the steak from its packaging and set it on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside at room temperature to temper.
Preheat your oven to 375F.
- Wash and cut the potato into quarters lengthwise, then slice each quarter to make 3 steak fries.
Transfer to a mixing bowl along with half of the Olive oil and a pinch of S&P Seasoning. Toss to coat.
- Spray the lined sheet trays with pan spray. Line the steak fries on the trays, leaving space between each fry.
- Transfer to the oven to bake, rotating every 15 minutes, until cooked through and crispy, about 45 minutes in total.
- Peel and finely mince the shallot. Slice the chives.
HOW TO COOK 🍳
Season the steak with S&P Seasoning.
Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the remaining Olive oil to the preheated pan.
- Just before the oil begins smoking, add the steaks and sear over high heat, flipping every 30 seconds or so until cooked to your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes for a solid medium-rare.
- Add the butter. Smash the garlic clove and add it to the pan, along with the thyme. Use a large metal spoon to baste.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest, topped with the garlic and thyme.
Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the minced shallot and lightly saute. Season with a pinch of S&P Seasoning.
- Add the Madeira, cognac, or brandy and flambé!!
Add the Sauce Diane and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off and whisk in the sliced chives. Taste and adjust the seasoning with S&P Seasoning.
Remove the steak fries from the oven and toss in the mixing bowl along with a sprinkle of S&P Seasoning.
- Carve the steaks and plate them alongside a pile of frites, topped with that delicious Sauce Diane. Dig in!!!
