Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start fries in a cold skillet with 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Pat steaks dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3

    When fries start to sizzle (about 5 minutes), slide steaks into a separate hot skillet with 1 tbsp oil.

  4. Step 4

    Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving. Centers should feel firm but still give slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer steaks to a plate. Toss minced garlic and parsley into the steak pan for 30 seconds, then stir in 2 tbsp butter until melted.

  6. Step 6

    Plate steaks and fries. Spoon herb butter over steaks and finish with fleur de sel.
