Recipe FAQs
- → How do I achieve a crispy texture on the fries?
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, dry thoroughly, then bake on a wire rack at high heat, turning once for even crispness.

Boneless ribeye and sirloin are ideal for their balance of tenderness and flavor; strip steak or filet mignon can be used as alternatives.
- → How is the garlic butter prepared?
Mix softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt, then chill briefly before topping the steak.
- → Can I adjust the steak's doneness?
Yes, sear steaks about 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare or cook longer to reach your preferred level of doneness.
- → Is this dish suitable for gluten-free diets?
When prepared with care to avoid cross-contamination and without flour in fries, it can be suitable for gluten-free diets.
