instructions

step 1

Butter: Add the butter to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and whip on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.

step 2

Next, add in the rosemary, thyme, green onions, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.

step 3

Fries: Add the fries to a container of cold water and move around with your hands to get some of the starch off.

step 4

Drain and rinse the potatoes again and drain off any excess water.

step 5

Place them in a deep fryer or a pot of oil at 300° for 3 minutes.

step 6

When ready to serve turn the heat to 350° and cook for 3-5 more minutes. Toss with salt in a bowl and serve.

step 7

Steak: Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper.

step 8

Add the oil to a large frying pan over high heat. Once smoking, add in the strip steak and turn the heat down to medium.

step 9

Add in the thyme, garlic, and butter and cook for 3-5 minutes per side for a medium-rare internal temperature.

Once you flip the steak over baste the steak until it’s done.
