Instructions
- Prepare the Oven & Fries:
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Toss the potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Make Garlic Butter:
- Mix butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill for 10 minutes.
- Season the Steaks:
- Pat steaks dry. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the Steaks:
- Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Sear steaks 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness.
- Finish & Serve:
- Transfer steaks to a plate, top with a generous spoonful of garlic butter, and rest 5 minutes. Serve steaks with fries and extra garlic butter on the side.
