Prepare the Fries:
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes (removes excess starch for crispier fries).

Cook the Steak:
Season steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Heat a grill or skillet over high heat.
Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. 🥩🔥
Make the Peppercorn Sauce:
In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add shallots and cook until translucent.
Stir in crushed peppercorns, then deglaze with beef broth.
Simmer until reduced by half, then add cream and Dijon mustard.
Cook until thickened, season to taste. 🥣
Serve:
Arrange sliced steak with crispy fries on a plate.
Drizzle the creamy peppercorn sauce over the steak or serve on the side.
Garnish with fresh parsley. 🌿
⭐ Pro Tip:
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon over the fries for an extra burst of flavor! 🍋
