Steak Frites with Café de Paris Butter

Ingredients

• 4 sirloin steaks
• 800 g frozen thin-cut chips
• 80 g unsalted butter
• 20 g flat-leaf parsley
• 2 clove garlic
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 lemon

Method

1. 1

   Bake the chips according to packet instructions. Meanwhile, soften the butter and beat in the chopped parsley, crushed garlic, mustard, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season, roll in cling film, and chill.

2. 2

   Pat the steaks dry and season generously on both sides. Heat a heavy griddle pan or frying pan until smoking hot.

3. 3

   Cook the steaks for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your liking. Rest on a board for 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Plate the steaks with the chips and top each steak with a generous slice of the café de Paris butter to melt.
