We Unlocked the Secret Behind France’s Most Famous Steak Frites | ChefSteps

The most iconic steak frites has to be served at Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecôte, a Parisian institution that has gone worldwide. They don’t have anything else on the menu: just steak frites, served with a side salad, although you can get a second helping of steak—and dessert, if you want. Since the steak and fries are only so-so at the restaurant chain, we knew we—and you!—could do better. Pick your favorite steak, give it a quick sear to jump-start the Maillard reaction, cook it sous vide, and then sear it right before serving for the ultimate steak, perfect for saucing. The fries? We’ve developed the ultimate crispy frites, which are basically the Pringles of fries—riced potatoes mixed with starch and formed into batons before getting double-fried to produce an ultra-crispy exterior with a light and fluffy center.
