Steak with Garlic Parm Fries (Printable Recipe)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fries

01 - 4 Russets, skinned and cut into sticks
02 - 3 tablespoons veggie oil
03 - 2 teaspoons sea salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
05 - 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
06 - 2 teaspoons dry oregano
07 - 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 2 tablespoons diced fresh parsley

→ Steak

09 - 1 NY Strip cut
10 - Salt and pepper as needed
11 - 2 tablespoons cooking fat

→ Sauce

12 - 1/2 cup tangy herb mayo
13 - Snipped chives for looks if wanted

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Cut potatoes into quarter-inch sticks. Drop them in ice cold water and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
02 - During potato soaking time, grab your meat and add a good amount of salt and pepper on each side. Let it warm up to room temp while you handle the fries.
03 - Empty and dry those potato sticks with paper towels. Mix them with oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano until coated well. Lay them flat on a baking tray and stick them in a 425°F oven for roughly 30 minutes. Turn them over halfway so they brown evenly.
04 - For super crunchy fries, turn on your broiler for the last 5 minutes. Watch them closely so they don't get burnt. When done, scatter the hot fries with grated parmesan and fresh parsley.
05 - As fries finish crisping, get a pan super hot. Throw in the cooking fat, then put your steak down. Cook it 2-3 minutes each side for pink middle. Pull it off and wait 5-7 minutes before cutting.
06 - Stack those tasty fries on your plate, add steak slices, pour some tangy herb mayo over everything, and maybe top with fresh chives if you want to look fancy.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Dunking spuds in cold water pulls out starch and makes your fries crunchier.
02 - Always let your meat sit after cooking so the juices stay in.
03 - No cooking fat around? Just use any high-heat oil like avocado or canola.
