How to cook deliciously - Steak Frites

1. Stage

Pour oil into a deep fryer (or about 4 inches up the sides of a deep pot) and heat to 325°. Leaving skin on, cut potatoes into 1/4" wide sticks. Rinse several times in ice cold water until water runs clear. Dry thoroughly with a clean towel.

2. Stage

When the oil has reached 325°, fry potatoes in batches until slightly translucent and barely browned, about 2 minutes per batch. (Return temperature to 325° before frying each batch.) Drain with slotted spoon, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.

3. Stage

Preheat large cast-iron pan over high heat. Rinse and pat steaks dry with a paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper. When cast-iron skillet is very hot but not smoking, add olive oil and butter. Place 2 steaks in pan and cook until desired temperature, 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Repeat steps for remaining steaks, adding more olive oil and butter if necessary.

4. Stage

Serve steak frites with a sprinkle of sea salt and garnish with fresh parsley.
