[01]
The creator provides a comprehensive tutorial on making restaurant-quality steak frites at home. He begins by explaining the best cuts of steak and demonstrates his dry-brining technique for achieving a perfect crust. He then sears and butter-bastes the steak with aromatics, after which he creates a Bordelaise pan sauce by sweating shallots, deglazing with red wine, and reducing with beef stock. For an advanced touch, he incorporates rendered bone marrow into the sauce for added richness, before finally slicing the steak and plating the complete dish with fries and sauce.

I don't care who you are or where you come from. Everybody needs a steak frites recipe in their back pocket, and you can make it just as good as the restaurants right in your home kitchen. The perfect steak frites at home starts with the steak. I'm going with the gorgeous Denver cut, but other good options are a rib eye, New York strip, or hanger, not filet. Boring. If I have the time, I'll salt it a day in advance and let it sit uncovered in the fridge overnight. That seasons it from within and dries the outside, helping to achieve the ultimate crust. Once crustified, but still rare, add butter and any aromatics you have, and and best until you've reached your desired doneness. Anything above medium is a crime, and if you disagree, that's fifteen minutes and time out for you. Now I'm turning that gold left behind into a pan sauce, a bordelaise, sweat shallot and garlic, deglaze with red wine and reduce until syrup. Add beef stock and reduce until thick enough to coat the back of your spoon or nappe. Strain, and at this point, you'd usually add cold butter off the heat, but I was feeling crazy. Last night, I brined a marrow bone in salt better to pull the impurities, then I used that to add incredible beefy fatty richness to the sauce.
