Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Steak:

4 1-inch-thick top sirloin steaks, patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Parmesan Fries:

2 russet potatoes, cut into 8 long wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray.
Prepare the Fries:
- Place the potato wedges in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the potatoes are coated.
Bake the Fries:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, tossing occasionally for even cooking.
Broil the Steaks:
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place them on the opposite side of the baking sheet, in a single layer.
- Broil the steaks for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. The steaks should be browned and charred on the edges.
Serve:
- Once the fries and steaks are done, remove from the oven.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and a dollop of garlic butter, if desired.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of potato?

Yes, you can use Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes for a different flavor and texture.

2. Can I use a different cut of beef for the steak?

Yes, flank steak, ribeye, or even filet mignon can be used in place of top sirloin, but cooking times may vary based on thickness.

3. How can I make sure the fries are crispy?

Make sure to toss the fries halfway through baking and don’t overcrowd them on the baking sheet. Spacing them out ensures even crisping.

4. Can I use frozen fries?

Yes, you can substitute frozen fries for fresh potatoes, but they might need slightly longer baking time depending on their thickness.

5. Can I cook the steak to a different doneness?

Yes, adjust the broiling time according to your preferred steak doneness. For medium, cook 6-7 minutes per side, and for well-done, cook 8 minutes per side.

6. Can I add garlic butter to the steak?

Yes, you can melt some garlic butter and drizzle it over the steak after it’s cooked for extra flavor.

7. Can I make the fries without cheese?

Yes, the fries are still delicious without the Parmesan cheese, but it adds a nice flavor and texture.

8. How do I know when the steak is done?

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.

9. Can I use a cast iron skillet instead of a baking sheet?

Yes, a cast iron skillet can also work for this recipe. You’ll want to cook the fries separately or in batches if using a skillet.

10. Can I make this meal with more servings?

Yes, simply increase the number of steaks and potatoes accordingly, and use a larger baking sheet or two baking sheets for the meal.
