Step By Step

Instructions

Preparation

1
15 minutes before cooking, remove the steak from its packaging and set it on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside at room temperature to temper.
2
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
3
Wash and cut the potato into quarters lengthwise, then slice each quarter to make 3 steak fries.
4
Transfer to a mixing bowl along with half of the oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
5
Spray the lined sheet trays with pan spray. Line the steak fries on the trays, leaving space between each fry.
6
Transfer to the oven to bake, rotating every 15 minutes, until cooked through and crispy, about 45 minutes in total.
7
Peel and finely mince the shallot. Slice the chives.

How to Cook

1
Season the steak with salt.
2
Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the remaining oil to the preheated pan.
3
Just before the oil begins smoking, add the steaks and sear over high heat, flipping every 30 seconds or so until cooked to your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes for a solid medium-rare.
4
Add the butter. Smash the garlic clove and add it to the pan, along with the thyme. Use a large metal spoon to baste.
5
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest, topped with the garlic and thyme.
6
Return the pan to medium-high heat. Add the minced shallot and lightly saute. Season with a pinch of salt.
7
Add the Scotch and flambé!!
8
Add the Sauce Diane and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off and whisk in the sliced chives. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper.
9
Remove the steak fries from the oven.
10
Carve the steaks and plate them alongside a pile of frites, topped with that delicious Sauce Diane. Dig in!!!
