Don’t let the frozen fries fool you—this is a meal for grown-ups. The French bistro classic,
steak frites, gets fused with a dirty gin martini to create a combo that will leave you feeling like your most sophisticated self. Seared medium-rare steak gets topped with a buttery, boozy olive sauce, sprinkled with blue cheese crumbles, and served alongside a mountain of golden, crispy French fries and a 2-minute leafy green salad. Whip this 45-minute marvel up for date night or your next dinner party, and watch the compliments roll in. Serve with a chilled dirty martini for extra points.
What kind of steak is best for steak frites?
Ribeye is the traditional choice for steak frites, but in testing, we found it to be a bit too fatty and opted for skirt steak instead. Aside from being the perfect balance of beefy flavor and tenderness, skirt steak is easier to handle and cooks quickly. New York strip would be another great option, with a slightly longer cook time.
Do I have to use frozen fries?
