What Makes This Video a Must-Watch
In this video, Derek combines perfectly seasoned steaks with crispy, homemade fries and a rich French steak sauce that brings it all together. He guides you through each step, so whether you’re a seasoned grill master or just starting, you’ll feel right at home.
Cooking Techniques & Ingredients
Let’s break it down! First up, the steaks—Derek recommends using your favorite cuts and seasoning them generously with SPG (salt, pepper, garlic) before giving them a good sear over medium-high heat (around 375°F). You’ll want to get those gorgeous grill marks and a delicious crust!
Now, onto the fries! Derek shares his tip of soaking Russet potatoes in ice water to help achieve that perfect crispiness. After drying them off, he heats up beef tallow in a dutch oven to 350°F, where the fries go in for their first fry, then take a relaxing break before returning for a golden-brown finish. The result? Heavenly, crispy fries you won’t be able to resist!
Making the Sauce
The pièce de résistance is definitely the French steak sauce! Derek shows us how to melt butter and soften shallots, then blend in tarragon, parsley, anchovies, and walnuts, creating a flavorful concoction that you’ll want to drizzle over everything.
After whisking in some Dijon mustard, an egg yolk, and Worcestershire sauce for emulsification, you’re left with a creamy sauce that’s bursting with flavor—perfect for topping those steaks. Watching Derek whip this up is truly a culinary treat!
