Recipe FAQs
- → What cut of steak works best for this dish?
Boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks around 8 oz each are ideal for balanced flavor and tenderness.
- → How do I get extra crispy fries?
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly before baking.

A heavy skillet or cast iron pan is recommended for even heat and a good sear, but any heavy-bottomed pan will work.
- → How should the garlic butter be prepared and used?
Mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt. Chill before topping steaks to melt slightly on contact.

Spread fries in a single layer on a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake at 425°F, turning halfway for uniform color and crispiness.
