Steak and Fries

Ingredients

• 2 large russet potatoes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 lb sirloin steak
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the 2 large potatoes into 1/2-inch thick fries and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper on a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Spread fries in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp on the outside.

3. 3

   Pat the 1 lb steak dry and season both sides with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.

4. 4

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium, add 1 tbsp butter, and tilt the pan to baste the steak for 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the fries, sprinkled with 2 tbsp chopped parsley.
