Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the sirloin steaks. Allow the steaks to marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 3 tablespoons olive oil and salt. If desired, add fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- In a large skillet or grill pan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated sirloin steaks. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In the same skillet used for the steaks, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté until translucent.
- Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and crushed black peppercorns. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt to taste.
- Slice the sirloin steaks against the grain. Arrange the steak slices on plates alongside the golden skin-on fries. Drizzle the rich brown peppercorn sauce over the steak, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
For a twist, try adding some grated Parmesan to the fries before baking.
