Ingredients

3 steaks, 1-inch thick Steak (Ribeye or New York Strip)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
to taste Salt
to taste Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1.5 bags Fries
3 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 tsp White Wine Vinegar
2 Fresh Thyme Sprigs
2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare fries according to package directions, ensuring they are crispy.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add thyme sprigs and butter.
Sear steaks for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare. Baste the steaks with the melted butter and thyme while searing.
Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard and white wine vinegar.
Serve sliced steak with crispy fries and Dijon mustard sauce.
