Step 1

Butter: Add the butter to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and whip on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Next, add the rosemary, thyme, green onions, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Fries: Add the fries to a container of cold water and move them around with your hands to remove some of the excess starch.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the potatoes again and drain off any excess water.

Step 5

Place them in a deep fryer or a pot of oil at 300° for 3 minutes. Remove them from the oil and set them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. They can hold for several hours like this.

Step 6

When you're ready to serve them, turn the heat to 350° and cook for 3-5 more minutes or until well browned and crispy. Toss them with salt in a large bowl and serve.

Step 7

Steak: Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Add the oil to a large frying pan over high heat. Once smoking, add the strip steak and turn the heat down to medium. Press down on it using tongs or a spatula for 15 to 20 seconds. Then, let it cook untouched for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 9

Flip the steak over, add the thyme, garlic, and butter, and cook for 2-4 minutes while basting it with a spoon.

Step 10

Rest the steak for 3-4 minutes before slicing and serving with some the butter and fries.
