Ingredients You’ll Need
Prepare your taste buds for this delightful combination:

Cooking Techniques and Tips
First up, Derek walks you through the trick of soaking your sliced fries in ice water to achieve that perfect crispy texture. He reminds us to preheat the grill to about 375°F for direct grilling. When frying the fries, patience pays off—he suggests cooking them in 2-3 batches to ensure even cooking.
For the steak, after generously seasoning with salt and a hearty coat of black pepper, Derek demonstrates how to sear the steak in a hot skillet before moving it to the cooler side of the grill, cooking it slowly to reach that ideal internal temperature of 120°F. Don’t forget to let the steaks rest for 15 minutes after cooking—that’s key for keeping them juicy!
To create the creamy sauce, Derek’s step-by-step guide includes sautéing minced garlic, deglazing with Pendleton bourbon, and mixing in the heavy cream for a decadent finish. This sauce is sure to impress with every bite!
