Ingredients
- Oven French Fries (Frites)
- 2 top sirloin steaks (3/4 pound each)
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Mustard Sauce:
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 shallots (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste or worcestershire
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken stock
Directions
- Make Oven French Fries (Frites). Begin preparing steak while fries are in oven.
- Preheat grill or heavy-bottomed skillet on stovetop. Season steaks liberally on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small sauce pan, melt butter over low heat. Add shallots and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Place butter, shallots, herbs, mustard, vinegar, and anchovy paste in a blender. Process until smooth. Add 1 cup water (or chicken stock), as needed, until thin enough to pour but not soupy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Grill steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side. Use a probe thermometer to check for doneness: 135°F for medium-rare and 140°F for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes.
- Thinly slice across the grain and serve with frites and mustard sauce.
