Garlic Parmesan Steak Fries (Print-Friendly Version)

Crispy golden fries paired with tender steak, tossed with garlic, parmesan, and fresh herbs for a savory treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fries

01 - 4 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 6 mm strips
02 - 45 ml olive oil
03 - 10 g kosher salt
04 - 1 g freshly ground black pepper
05 - 6 g garlic powder
06 - 2 g dried oregano
07 - 50 g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, freshly grated
08 - 8 g fresh parsley, chopped

→ Steak

09 - 1 New York striploin steak
10 - Kosher salt, to taste
11 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 - 30 ml beef tallow

→ Sauce and Garnish

13 - 120 ml lemon herb aioli
14 - Chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

# How to Make It:

01 - Peel russet potatoes and slice lengthwise into thin planks; cut into 6 mm strips for classic fry shape.
02 - Place potato strips in a large bowl with cold ice water and soak for 10–15 minutes to remove excess starch.
03 - While potatoes soak, season both sides of striploin steak generously with salt and black pepper. Allow steak to rest at room temperature.
04 - Preheat oven to 220°C.
05 - Drain potatoes and pat thoroughly dry using a kitchen towel. Toss fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano in a large bowl until evenly coated.
06 - Arrange fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Broil on high for the final 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
07 - Immediately sprinkle fries with Parmigiano Reggiano and chopped parsley while still hot.
08 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef tallow. Sear the steak’s fat cap for 1 minute, then sear each side for 2–3 minutes to desired doneness. Let steak rest for 5–7 minutes before slicing.
09 - Transfer garlic parmesan fries to a serving platter. Arrange sliced steak on top. Drizzle with lemon herb aioli and garnish with finely chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips:

01 - For best results, slice potatoes uniformly to promote even crisping during baking.
02 - Allowing the steak to come to room temperature before searing ensures a more even cook.
