Bistro Steak
There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good steak paired with really fresh, crisp fries. And this steak-and-fry combo takes just minutes.
Sure, there are frozen French fries available that are pretty good. But if you own a mandoline or Japanese vegetable slicer with a julienne attachment, bistro-style fries are at your fingertips.
The key to these light, crisp fries is to make sure that your oil is hot enough; then you want to fry them twice. Even if they only sit for five minutes after the first fry, the second frying really crisps them up.
Add a salad, and bon appetit.
Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper, then add them to skillet. Cook until steaks are nicely browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn steaks over, top with cheese and cook another 3 to 4 minutes for medium rare.
