Description

Classic French-style Steak Frites featuring juicy ribeye steaks seared to perfection and served with crispy oven-baked fries. Enhanced with aromatic garlic, rosemary, and buttery basting to deliver rich flavor in just 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 ribeye steaks (or preferred cut)
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Fries

  • 1 lb potatoes, peeled & cut into fries
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the fries to a perfect crispy texture.
  2. Prepare and Bake Fries: Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil and salt, ensuring an even coating. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer to promote even cooking. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they become golden brown and crispy.
  3. Season the Steaks: While the fries bake, generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  4. Heat the Skillet: Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot and shimmering, ready for searing.
  5. Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time if you prefer your steak more or less cooked.
  6. Add Aromatics and Butter: In the last minute of cooking, add butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the pan to infuse the steaks with rich aromas and flavors.
  7. Baste the Steaks: Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to scoop up the melted butter, continuously spooning it over the steaks to baste them and keep them moist.
  8. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the steak remains tender and juicy.
  9. Serve: Plate the rested steaks alongside the crispy fries. For extra flavor, serve with béarnaise, garlic aioli, or peppercorn sauce as desired.

Notes

  • Use a cast-iron skillet for the best searing results.
  • Adjust steak cooking times to your preferred doneness—medium rare is about 130-135°F internal temperature.
  • Peeling potatoes ensures even cooking and a crispier fry.
  • Allowing steaks to rest after cooking improves juiciness.
  • Optional sauces like béarnaise or peppercorn enhance the classic steak frites experience.
