Steak Frites

Lodge Cast Iron | January 4, 2022

Steak Frites (known as “steak and fries” in French), is one of the most popular dishes served in brasseries throughout Europe. In this classic combo, which originated in Belgium, the fries are always deep-fried, giving them a crunchy texture and an appetizing golden-brown color. For the steaks, thicker-cut, boneless strip steaks produce a nice crust on the exteriors without overcooking the centers.

*Tip: Removing steaks from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before grilling will help them to cook more uniformly.
