Garlic Butter Steak Fries (Printable)

Tender seared steak topped with garlic herb butter served with golden crispy fries.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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

# Cooking Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet to ensure fries cook evenly and crisp.
02 - Toss russet potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack.
03 - Bake fries for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
04 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
05 - Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
06 - Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to preferred doneness.
07 - Transfer steaks to a plate, top each with a generous spoonful of the garlic herb butter, and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve alongside golden fries with additional garlic butter if desired.
