Steak and Chips

Ingredients

• 4 steaks
• Frozen chips or homemade chips
• Butter
• 2 garlic cloves
• Rosemary or thyme
• Salt and pepper
• Green beans, broccoli, or salad leaves

Method

1. Cook the chips according to the packet instructions, or roast homemade chips until golden and crisp.
2. Take the steaks out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a heavy frying pan until hot. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked how you like them.
4. Add butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary or thyme to the pan. Spoon the butter over the steaks for 1 minute.
5. Rest the steaks for 5 minutes while you finish the chips and cook the greens or salad.
6. Serve the steak with chips, greens, and the garlic butter from the pan.

Notes

• For thicker steaks, turn the heat down after searing and cook for another few minutes.
• Pepper sauce, bearnaise, or ketchup all work well on the side.
