This Steak Frites recipe brings the beloved French bistro favorite straight to your kitchen.

With juicy, seared steak and golden twice-cooked fries, it’s a restaurant-quality meal that’s surprisingly easy to recreate at home.

Why You’ll Love This Steak Frites

Crispy, Golden Fries: Twice-cooked for ultimate crunch

Juicy, Tender Steak: Perfectly seasoned and pan-seared

Better Than Restaurant: Made fresh, just how you like it

Customizable: Pair with your favorite sauce or seasoning

Date-Night Worthy: Elegant yet simple

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Steak: Ribeye, NY strip, or filet mignon – high-quality beef is key

Russet Potatoes: Best for crispy fries

Neutral Oil: For frying (like vegetable or canola oil)

Salt & Pepper: Classic seasoning for both components

Butter & Garlic: Optional for basting steak

Pro Tips Before You Start

Soak Potatoes: In cold water to remove excess starch

Dry Thoroughly: Wet potatoes = soggy fries

Use a Cast-Iron Skillet: Best for a perfect steak crust

Rest the Steak: 5–10 minutes before slicing

Fry Twice: Once to cook, once to crisp

How to Make Steak Frites

Step 1: Prep the Fries

Peel (optional) and cut potatoes into matchsticks.

Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

Drain, dry thoroughly with towels.

Step 2: First Fry

Heat oil to 325°F. Fry potatoes in batches for 4–5 minutes until just tender.

Drain on a rack or paper towel.

Step 3: Cook the Steak

Season steak generously with salt and pepper.

Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat.

Sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side (adjust for thickness).

Optionally baste with butter, garlic, and herbs during last minute. Transfer to rest.

Step 4: Second Fry

Increase oil temperature to 375°F.

Fry potatoes again for 2–3 minutes until deep golden brown. Season with salt.

Step 5: Serve

Plate the steak alongside fries.

Serve with your favorite sauce (béarnaise, aioli, or compound butter).

What to Serve It With

Béarnaise or chimichurri sauce

Garlic herb butter

Arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette

Roasted vegetables

Red wine or sparkling water

Variations / Substitutions

Air Fryer Fries: For a lighter twist

Different Cuts: Sirloin or hanger steak are great too

Truffle Salt on Fries: For a gourmet flair

Sweet Potato Fries: For a flavorful change-up

Herb Butter Finish: Instead of pan basting

Storage & Leftovers

Steak: Store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days

Fries: Best fresh, but can be reheated in oven or air fryer

Reheating Tip: Avoid microwaving fries – they’ll lose crispness

FAQs

Can I cook the fries ahead of time?
Yes! Do the first fry, then store until ready for final crisping.

What’s the best oil for frying?
Use a neutral high smoke point oil like vegetable or canola.

Should I season the steak before or after cooking?
Season generously before cooking for best flavor and crust.

Can I grill the steak instead?
Absolutely—grilled steak works beautifully too.

Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Just use gluten-free sauces if serving on the side.

Final Thoughts

Steak Frites is the ultimate comfort food dressed up with French flair.

Whether you’re making it for a weeknight treat or a special dinner, this recipe guarantees a flavorful, satisfying plate that’s as good as your favorite bistro—if not better.
