Steak Frites with Cowboy Butter

We love a good medium rare steak and pairing it with crispy fries and a homemade cowboy butter for dipping makes it even better.

Steak Frites with Cowboy Butter
Serves
2

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsely
  • Few sprigs thyme, removed from the stems
  • 1 tbsp chopped taragon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Pinch of paprika and red pepper flakes (add more for extra heat)
  • Dash of worcestershire sauce
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 bone in strip steak or ribeye, preferred (sizing dependant on how many you are serving)
  • 2-4 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin fries (quantity dependent on how many you are serving)
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Sprigs of rosemary and thyme
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Flakey salt & pepper
  • Grated parm, optional

Preparation

  1. 1

    Start by making your cowboy butter - melt butter and slowly add all ingredients, this can sit off the heat and be re-warmed before serving

  2. 2

    Prep fries and let them sit in an ice bath for 30 minutes, rinse and dry very well

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat your oil for frying, this should be on medium-high heat, once ready (test oil by adding a small piece of a fry and it should bubble), drop fries in batches for the first fry - maybe 1-2 minute max, remove and set on a paper towel

  4. 4

    While those cool, season your steak with flakey salt and pepper

  5. 5

    Cook steak on high heat to form a crust (being careful not to burn), once both sides are browned add butter, herbs, and garlic to pan and baste, remove and let cool - you want the internal temp to hit 130-135 for medium rare

  6. 6

    While steak cools, fry potatoes for a second time until golden brown - toss with salt, parm, garlic and herbs from the steak

  7. 7

    Serve with steak, fries, and melty cowboy butter!
