  • 2 steaks ribeye steaks (1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pinch fleur de sel or flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start fries in a cold skillet with 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Pat steaks dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    When fries start to sizzle (about 5 minutes), slide steaks into a separate hot skillet with 1 tbsp oil.

    Plate steaks and fries. Spoon herb butter over steaks and finish with fleur de sel.
