Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 4 Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick fries
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steak and Cooking

  • 1 New York Striploin steak (about 1–1.5 inches thick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (for the steak)
  • 2 tablespoons beef tallow

Serving

  • 1/2 cup lemon herb aioli, for serving
  • Fresh chives, finely snipped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and uniformly slice Russet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick fries. Rinse the fries under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat thoroughly dry with towels.
  2. Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the dried potato wedges with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano until evenly coated.
  3. First Bake: Spread seasoned potato slices in a single layer on two parchment-lined baking sheets, ensuring they are not crowded. Bake for 20-25 minutes until beginning to crisp.
  4. Flip and Add Cheese: Remove fries from oven, flip each wedge carefully, then evenly sprinkle half of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese over them. Return to oven for another 10-15 minutes.
  5. Final Crisp and Cheese: Continue baking for a final 10-15 minutes, or until fries are tender inside, crispy outside, and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Immediately after removing from oven, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the hot fries to create a cheesy crust.
  6. Prepare and Sear the Steak: While fries bake in the final phase, pat steak dry and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat beef tallow in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it to form a crust.
  7. Flip and Cook to Desired Doneness: Flip the steak and sear for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time if a different doneness is preferred. Use a meat thermometer if desired (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  8. Rest and Slice Steak: Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices. After resting, slice against the grain into thick, bite-sized pieces.
  9. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the hot, crispy Garlic Parmesan Steak Fries on a serving platter alongside sliced steak. Serve with lemon herb aioli and garnish with fresh parsley and optional snipped chives. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For even crispier fries, ensure potatoes are thoroughly dried before seasoning and baking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheets to prevent steaming and achieve better crispness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to cook steak to your preferred doneness for best results.
  • Fries can be prepped ahead and refrigerated at the baking stage, but bake freshly before serving for optimal crispiness.
  • Leftover fries store best in the refrigerator up to 2 days; reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes for crispness.
  • Optional flavor enhancements include adding smoked paprika, rosemary, thyme, or cayenne pepper to the fries for variations.
