The Perfect Steak With Jojo Fries Recipes

PERFECT CRISPY STEAK FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add coconut oil to a large cookie sheet and put into the oven while it preheats.
• Cut your potatoes into 8 long steak fries each.
• Microwave for 5 minutes.
• When oven is ready, swirly the melted coconut oil in the pan and then add fries to cookie sheet. Be careful because the coconut oil will be very hot as will the cookie sheet.
• Make sure the fries are well distributed and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cook for 30 minutes.
• Flip and then raise the heat to 525 degrees and cook for 10 more minutes or less.
• Check to make sure your fries do not burn and are your desired crispiness.
• Oven temperatures may vary so check your fries towards the end.

SHEET PAN STEAK AND FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. Place potatoes in a single layer onto one side of the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine. Place into oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp, tossing occasionally. Preheat oven to broil. Season steaks with salt and pepper, to taste, and place onto the opposite side of the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Place into oven and broil until the steak is browned and charred at the edges, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Serve immediately with garlic butter, garnished with parsley, if desired.

STEAK MOCK FRITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450. Set a large pot filled with salted water on the stove. Add potatoes, turn heat to high and cook, gently boiling, until they are softened, approximately 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, and dry them well.
• Grease a sheet pan with half the oil, and put the potatoes on the pan. Using a potato masher or the bottom of a heavy glass, gently smash each potato, pressing it down to a thickness of less than an inch. Drizzle the rest of the oil over the smashed potatoes, place on top rack in the oven and allow to roast until the exteriors are golden and crunchy, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Add salt to taste.
• Make the maître d'hôtel butter. Put the butter on a cutting board and, using a fork, cut the other ingredients into it until the butter is creamy and smooth. Scrape the butter together with a chef's knife, and form it into a rough log. If making it ahead of time, you can roll it tight in a sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• As the potatoes finish crisping, make the steaks. Set a heavy-bottomed skillet - or 2 if your steaks are large and you are cooking them in 4 pieces - over high heat, and let it sit for a few minutes. Shower the steaks with an aggressive amount of salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pan, and shake to distribute. It will almost immediately begin to smoke. Place the steaks in the pan, and allow to sear, unattended, for 4 minutes, until they have developed a serious crust. Turn the steaks over, and cook for an additional 3 to 6 minutes for medium-rare. Remove steaks to a warm platter to rest. Top each steak with a tablespoon of the butter.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven, and season them with salt and a grind of pepper. Place 2 or 3 crunchy potatoes on each plate, then nestle a steak up beside them. Top each steak with pats of the remaining butter.

STEAK FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Mix olive oil and grill seasoning together in a large bowl. Add potato wedges and toss to coat.
• Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Crumple up foil slightly and grease with cooking spray. Arrange potato wedges on the foil so that they are not touching and have enough room to cook.
• Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until brown and crispy, about 25 minutes.

PERFECT FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
• Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight.)
• When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
• Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on new/dry paper towels.
• Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!

JUICY STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler. Spread half of the butter on top of the frozen steak. Pour Worcestershire sauce over, and sprinkle liberally with meat tenderizer, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Place steak on a roasting pan. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes, remove steak from the oven, and flip over. Spread butter and season just like the other side. Return to the broiler, and continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes, or to desired doneness.

JO JO POTATOES

Steps:

• In a shallow dish mix flour, garlic powder, lemon pepper, celery salt, onion powder and seasoning salt.
• Dip potato wedges in egg, then in spice mixture.
• Heat deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place potatoes in hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Cook in batches to maintain oil temperature. Drain briefly on paper towels. Serve hot.
