Instructions

1
Prepare the fries: Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) to remove excess starch. Drain thoroughly and pat very dry with paper towels.
2
Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside.
3
Cook the fries: Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 325°F (160°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for 5-7 minutes, until soft but not browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over paper towels. Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Season immediately with salt.
4
Prepare the steaks: While the fries are cooking, pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Sear the steaks: Place the steaks in the hot skillet. For medium-rare, cook for 3-4 minutes per side. For medium, cook for 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness. Remove steaks from the pan and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Top each steak with a dollop of the prepared garlic butter.
6
Serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain, if desired. Serve immediately with the crispy French fries.
