Steak Frites with Maitre D Butter
Steak Frites with Maitre d Butter
Steak frites is a classic French dish that is simply steak and fries. Popular cuts of beef to use are strip loin, hangar, skirt, and top sirloin. Traditionally, the steak is pan fried, but grilling or broiling are acceptable. The steak is topped with some fancy Maitre d butter, making the steak unbelievably flavorful; allowing the fries to sop up the buttery steak juices.
