🥩 Date Night Dishes: Steak Frites 🥩 Perfectly cooked steak with crispy duck fat fries! Save and share this post for your next date night… it’ll be a winner! 

Steak
-Steak of choice, I love skirt steak 
-Olive Oil
-Salt and Pepper 

Chimichurri 
-1/3 cup chopped parsley
-3 garlic cloves, grated
-2 tbsp shallots, minced
-2 tbsp dried oregano 
-2 tbsp Calabrian chili paste
-1/3 cup red wine vinegar 
-1/3 cup evoo
-Salt to taste 

Duck Fat Fries
-2 russet potatoes
-32oz duck fat (I used epicbar duck fat)
-Seasoning of choice 
-Ice water 

Mix all the chimichurri ingredients together in a bowl, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. 

Make the fries but cutting the potatoes into sticks. Then transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water for 30 minutes to remove the starch. Then remove and dry completely. 

Heat the duck fat in a pot. Then cook the fries in batches so you don’t overcrowd the oil. The first fry will be at 300° for 5-7 minutes. This will soften the potatoes and cook the inside. Remove and set aside on a wire rack to cool. 

Fry a second time at 375° for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Frying twice at this temp will yield a fluffy inside and a crispy outside. 

Season the steak with salt and pepper or your seasoning of choice. Then heat a pan over high heat, drizzle with oil, and carefully lay the steak away from you. Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until internal temp is reached. 

Slice the steak against the grain, plate with fries, and top with chimichurri!
