Recipe Questions & Answers
- → How do you achieve a perfect sear on the steak?
Pat the steak dry, season with salt and pepper, then sear in a preheated heavy skillet over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side. This locks in juices and creates a flavorful crust.
- → What is the purpose of resting the steak after cooking?
Resting allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- → How can I make the fries extra crispy?
Soak peeled potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes, dry thoroughly, then toss with oil and seasonings before baking on a wire rack.
- → What herbs complement the garlic butter?
Fresh parsley and thyme add bright, earthy notes that enhance the richness of the butter without overwhelming the steak.
- → Can I use other steak cuts for this dish?
Yes—ribeye, sirloin, strip steak, or filet mignon all work well depending on your preference and desired tenderness.
