Step By Step

Instructions

Prep the frites:

1
The day before cooking, soak the cut potatoes in cold water and refrigerate to remove excess starch.

Cook the frites:

1
Drain and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender but firm. Drain and let cool on paper towels. Heat oil in a large pot to 350°F and fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Roast the tomatoes:

1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Rub tomato halves with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast on a parchment-lined tray for 45 minutes until browned. Garnish with parsley.

Cook the steak:

1
Heat a cast iron pan over high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear in oil, flipping every 30 seconds for 4-6 minutes for medium-rare. Add butter, thyme, and garlic to baste for 1 minute. Let the steak rest.

Assemble the dish:

1
Slice the steak, serve with the frites, roasted tomatoes, and drizzle with the reserved pan butter.
