# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Toss potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange fries in a single layer on the rack.
02 - Bake fries for 30 to 35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill the mixture for 10 minutes.
04 - Pat steaks dry and rub evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper.
05 - Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness.
06 - Transfer steaks to a plate, top each with a generous spoonful of garlic butter, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with fries and additional garlic butter on the side.
