Super simple. Very tasty! A real good steak dinner! This is my rough variation on a classic steak frites! The cowboy butter sauce taste exactly how you would imagine it; rich, classy, but with a hint of daring!
Ingredients
- 4 steaks
- 2 garlic cloves
- Rosemary sprig
- 1.5-2 kg potatoes
- Salt
Cowboy butter sauce
- 250 gr butter
- ½ lemon zest + juice
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1-2 minced shallots
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp cayenne
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1-2 tbsp chives
Directions
Salt your steak and set aside
- Peel the potatoes, slice on a mandoline into thin frites. Wash in ice cold water and pat dry really good
- Fry the fries for the first time for about 3 minutes at 150 degrees Celsius or 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Let drain and cool on a wire rack.
- Pat the steak dry, season with salt and pepper and cover with neutral oil
- On a pan at high heat, sear the steak for a few minutes on both sides before adding the butter, rosemary and garlic, baste until an internal temperature of 52-55 degrees Celsius or 125-130 degrees. Let rest
- Chop the chives, parsley, shallots and garlic for the sauce.
- Add butter to a pan on low heat, let melt and add the Dijon, lemon juice, paprika and cayenne while whisking constantly to emulsify (don’t let it boil). Stir in the chopped ingredients and that is your emulsified cowboy butter sauce.
- Fry the fries another time at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius until golden and crispy, season with salt.
- Serve and garnish with some chopped chives
