Instructions

Make the Steak

  • First, make the marinade by toasting the chili flake, white peppercorns, coriander seed, and fennel seed in a dry pan on medium heat. Once the coriander seeds start to pop, move the spices into a mortar and pestle and grind to a semi-fine powder. Add the remaining marinade ingredients and pour over the steaks, coating each side separately. Set the steaks aside at room temperature to marinade for at least 20 minutes.
  • While the steak marinates, heat a grill to medium high. Oil the grill lightly, and grill the steaks to desired doneness. Let rest for at least 10 minutes.

Make the Fries

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add 2 tsp white wine vinegar for each quart of water. boil the potatoes for 5 minutes, then set on a baking sheet covered in paper towel to drain and cool. Spread evenly and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Add 5 cups of frying oil to a high-sided cast iron pot. Heat over medium until it reach a temperature of 375. Add the fries, in batches so that the pan is not over-crowded, and fry until golden and crisp. Use a frying spoon to pull the fries out of the oil into a large metal bowl. Immediately sprinkle the seasoning on and toss to coat evenly. Lay out on a cooling rack over a pan lined with paper towel to drain without getting soggy.

Make the Dipping Sauce

  • Combine the dipping sauce ingredients and whisk well. Portion into small condiment cups.

Plate and Serve

  • Slice the steaks and lay on the plate, next to a serving of the fries. Finish with the cup of dipping sauce and enjoy!
