Steakhouse Garlic Butter Steak Fries

Featured in: Fried Classics

This dish features tender, seared ribeye or sirloin steaks enhanced by a flavorful garlic-herb butter. Accompanied by oven-baked russet potato fries, crisped to golden perfection, it balances rich, savory flavors and satisfying textures. The garlic butter combines fresh herbs and lemon juice for brightness, melting beautifully atop the rested steaks. Crispy fries are seasoned simply with salt and pepper and baked on a wire rack for even crispness. Ideal for a comforting main course that highlights well-seasoned meat and fresh, aromatic additions.

A classic steakhouse favorite featuring perfectly seared steak topped with rich garlic-herb butter, served with crisp golden fries.

I remember making this for a celebratory dinner & the aroma of the sizzling steak and melting garlic butter had everyone gathered around the table before I could even plate the fries.

Ingredients

  • Steak: 4 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 225 g / 8 oz each), room temperature; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1½ tsp kosher salt; 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the fries:
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Toss the potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp.
Make garlic butter:
While fries cook, mix butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill for 10 minutes.
Prep the steak:
Pat steaks dry. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Sear steaks 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness.
