Recipe FAQs
- → How can I achieve a juicy steak?
-
Patting the steak dry before searing and cooking it over high heat for a short time locks in juices. Letting it rest with garlic butter allows flavors to meld and the meat to remain tender.
- → What is the best way to make crispy fries?
-
Soaking cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch. Baking them on a wire rack at high heat with oil ensures an even crisp texture.
- → Can I use different cuts of beef?
-
Yes, ribeye, sirloin, strip steak, or filet mignon work well; just adjust cooking time to desired doneness.
- → How does the garlic butter enhance the steak?
-
The garlic butter adds rich, aromatic flavors from fresh herbs and garlic, melting over the warm steak to create a luscious finish.
- → Are there tips for seasoning the steak properly?

Use kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to season steaks evenly before searing to build a flavorful crust.
