Tender seared steak topped with flavorful garlic butter, served alongside crispy golden fries.

# Components:

→ Steak

01 - 4 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (8 oz each), 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

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
02 - Toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the fries in a single layer on the wire rack and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and chill for 10 minutes.
04 - Pat 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 steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to desired doneness.
06 - Transfer steaks to a plate, top each with a generous spoonful of garlic butter, and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
07 - Serve the steaks alongside crispy fries, offering additional garlic butter on the side if desired.
