Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C) to keep the cooked steak warm while preparing the fries.
Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
Add butter, minced garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavor.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and place on a baking sheet to rest in the warm oven.
While the steaks are resting, prepare the fries.
Heat vegetable oil to 325°F (163°C) in a large pot.
Fry the potato strips in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Season with salt immediately.
Once all the fries are cooked, increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the batches again until they become extra crispy, about 1-2 minutes.
Drain on paper towels and season with additional salt if needed.
