Step 1

When I get a perfect steak with crispy fries and a lovely sauce I'm in heaven. Enjoyed with a good red wine and friends. This is French bistro at its best. Get good ingredients in perfect harmony. This dish makes me happy!

Step 2

This dish really only has 3 elements and therefore I do my very best to ensure that all 3 are as good as possible. I buy good quality meat and season plenty of salt and pepper before it is fried / grilled. Pay attention to the temperature when making entrecôte. I use high heat first to give a nice crust before I turn down the heat and let the core temperature get up to 56 degrees. It is also important to let the meat rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

The sauce is a little difficult to make, but once you get this, the result is incredibly good! I therefore link directly to the recipe for the sauce where you can get good tips and watch video of how I make the sauce. Café de Paris entrecôte sauce - The famous French sauce!

Step 4

Making french fries can be done in several ways! I really like the method where it is boiled gently first before it is fried twice afterwards. First at 160 degrees and then at 190 degrees. You can also buy ready-made french fries and fry or heat in the oven. Here is the link to my homemade french fries French Fries - That's how they become perfect!

Step 5

Now all you have to do is cut the meat into slices and place on a plate together with crispy french fries. Finish by pouring over some of the good entrecôte sauce. Below you can see a video of this dish.
