Tender seared steak with garlic-herb butter paired with golden crisp fries.

# Components:

→ Steak

01 - 4 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks, approximately 8 ounces each, at room temperature
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Garlic Butter

05 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
06 - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
08 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
09 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
10 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Fries

11 - 1¾ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
12 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
13 - ½ teaspoon salt
14 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and position a wire rack over a baking sheet.
02 - Toss cut potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once halfway, until fries are golden and crispy.
03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm.
04 - Pat steaks dry, then rub each with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
05 - Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time as preferred.
06 - Transfer steaks to a plate, top each with a generous spoonful of garlic butter, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve alongside fries with extra garlic butter if desired.
