Steak with French Fries

Ingredients

• 2 large russet potatoes
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 lb ribeye steak
• 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 2 large potatoes into thin sticks and pat dry with paper towels. Toss with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1/2 tsp salt.

2. 2

   Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crispy.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   Heat the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Place the steak in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 130°F.

6. 6

   Add the 1 tbsp butter to the skillet and tilt to baste the steak for 1 minute. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the hot fries. Season with extra salt and pepper if desired.

8. 8

   Enjoy immediately while the fries are crisp and the steak is warm.
