Grilled Steak Fries With Spicy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce Recipes

GRILLED STEAK FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water. Bring potatoes to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just slightly tender but not cooked through about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and dry well. Slice the potatoes into thick wedges, about 6 per potato.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dry rub, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the potato wedges and toss. Grill the potatoes until golden brown and crisp all over, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl or platter and serve with Creole Mustard Dipping Sauce.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.

GRILLED STEAK FRIES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot of cold water, add 2 tablespoons salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a knife but still firm, about 25 minutes. Drain, let cool, and then cut each potato lengthwise into 8 slices. This can be done in advance; the potatoes can be kept at room temperature for up to 4 hours or refrigerated for up to 8 hours.
• Heat your grill to high.
• Brush the potatoes with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve hot.

STEAK-CUT OVEN FRIES WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• To make the blue cheese dip: In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, buttermilk, shallot, lemon juice and zest, Worcestershire, salt, and celery seed. Pulse until evenly combined but still slightly chunky. Stir in the parsley and season with pepper, to taste. Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for the flavors to come together while you make the fries.
• To make the fries: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put a baking sheet on the center rack and preheat for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges by eighths, leaving the skins on. In a large bowl toss the wedges with the olive oil.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and arrange the potato wedges cut-side down on it, keeping them evenly spaced. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the remaining oil in the bowl over the potatoes (it helps them get crispy). Bake until browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Transfer the fries to a serving platter and season with salt, to taste. Serve immediately with the blue cheese dip.
