Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium (about 12 ounces each) New York strip steaks
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 2 whole, smashed garlic cloves
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Scrub the russet potatoes clean and pat them dry. Cut them into evenly sized matchstick fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy. Check for even browning and adjust cooking time as needed.
Step 5
While the fries bake, bring the steaks to room temperature and season both sides generously with the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 6
Heat a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 7
Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes on the first side until a crust forms.
Step 8
Flip the steaks and immediately add the ghee, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprig to the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted ghee and aromatics for about 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
Step 9
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-10 minutes, tented with foil to retain heat.
Step 10
To serve, plate the crispy fries beside the seared steak. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy this hearty, Whole30-compliant dish.
