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.
