Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Place potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.

Step 3

Place potatoes, cut-side down, in a single layer. Place into oven and bake for 35 minutes, until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway.

Step 4

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat until very hot, about 1-2 minutes. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoon canola oil.

Step 5

Season steak with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, add steak to the skillet in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes; set aside and keep warm.

Step 6

To make the garlic butter sauce, reduce heat to low; add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in butter, parsley and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 7

Serve steak and fries immediately with garlic butter sauce.
