Steak Frites

Steak Frites is a happy occasion at our house, the time honoured combination of meat and potatoes can't be beat for flavour or comfort!  Sirloin, Tenderloin, or Ribeye all cook up wonderfully on the grill.  Served with a nice handful of fried potatoes, a few shrimps and a fresh salad you have a fabulous meal to share with some good friends! 

Below are a few shots of some Ribeye we did one summer day on the gas grill!  

Just salt and pepper to season these Ribeyes, then right onto a red hot grill!

 Home made wedge style fries drying off on the rack ready for blanching in the deep frier!

 The fries soak for an hour or so in cold water, then hit the rack to dry out, then blanch for 6-8  minutes at 350F

 Take them out and let them drain in the basket ready to drop in for one minute or so at 375 F for the final crisping!!!!

                                      

I like to keep a box or two of prebreaded frozen shrimp in the freezer.  They make a great add on to your steak dinner and only take a couple of minutes in the deep fryer.  The fryer is already hot from the french fries so why not!!! 

Remember to turn your steaks on a 45 degree angle to get some great grill marks!!!!!
