Recipe Questions
- → What cut of steak is best for this dish?
Ribeye or sirloin provide a juicy, tender result, but strip steak or filet mignon also work well.
- → How do I make fries extra crispy?
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly before baking.
- → Can I use salted butter for the garlic butter?
Yes, but reduce added salt in the mixture to avoid excess seasoning.
- → What temperature should I sear steaks at?
High heat in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, ensures a flavorful, caramelized crust on the steak.
- → Is this suitable for gluten-free diets?
Yes, if fries are baked without flour and cross-contamination is avoided during preparation.
- → What wine pairs well with this meal?
Bold red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec, complement the savory richness of steak and butter.
