Seared Steak with Truffle Herb Fries
Description
This recipe begins by bringing steaks to room temperature to ensure even cooking. The steaks are seasoned with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, then seared in a hot cast iron skillet with unsalted butter, cooked to about medium doneness. The butter is spooned over the steaks during cooking to enhance flavor and promote a rich crust. After cooking, the steaks rest to redistribute juices and finish cooking gently.
The truffle herb fries prepare thin potato slices soaked in cold water to remove excess starch, then fully dried before air frying at 375°F until crispy. After cooking, the fries are tossed with truffle salt, chopped fresh parsley, and freshly grated Parmesan, which combine to create a unique flavor profile complementing the richness of the steak.
Honey dijon aioli made with mayonnaise, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey adds a sweet and tangy element that pairs well with the fries and steak. This meal brings together rich, savory, and fresh flavors with varied textures from tender steak to crisp fries and creamy aioli, suitable for a special dinner or elevated casual meal.
Ingredients
seared steak
- 2 strip steak
- kosher salt
- black pepper freshly cracked
- 3 to 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
truffle herb fries in the air fryer
- 2 to 3 russet potato thinly sliced
- olive oil for spritzing or brushing
- 1 teaspoon truffle salt
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
honey dijon aioli
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
seared steak
- Make sure your steaks sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat - you want it hot! Season the steaks on both sides with the salt and pepper.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the hot skillet. It will sizzle and smoke and once it’s all melted, add in the steaks. Cook for 3 minute, until deeply golden, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more. Add in the remaining butter. Once it melts, spoon it over top of the steaks for another 1 to 2 minutes. I like to cook the steaks to about 140-145 degrees (almost medium doneness or medium well). Remove the steaks and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
truffle herb fries in the air fryer
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let the potatoes sit in the water for 30 to 60 minutes. Remove the potatoes and place them on kitchen towels - you want them completely dry! Pat them as dry as you can!
- Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and spray or brush with olive oil. Place the fries in a single layer in your air fryer (you might have to do 2 batches!). Cook for 12 minutes, then gently flip the fries and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more.
- Stir together the parsley and parmesan cheese. When the fries are done, place them on a plate or a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle all over with the truffle salt immediately. Sprinkle with the herbs and parmesan mixture. Serve with the aioli. If you do 2 batches, or if the fries are done before the steak, you can stick these in a 200 degree F oven until ready to eat!
