Step 1
Start fries in a cold skillet with 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pat steaks dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
When fries start to sizzle (about 5 minutes), slide steaks into a separate hot skillet with 1 tbsp oil.
Step 4
Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving. Centers should feel firm but still give slightly.
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.
Step 6
Plate steaks and fries. Spoon herb butter over steaks and finish with fleur de sel.
