Steak and Fries with Salad

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.

Step 2

While fries bake, rub the 1 lb steak with 1 tbsp olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat until smoking.

Step 3

Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a brown crust forms and it feels firm but springy when pressed. Transfer to a plate and let rest while you finish the salad.

Step 4

In a large bowl, toss the 4 cups lettuce, 1 sliced tomato, and 1/2 sliced onion with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve with the fries and salad on the side.
