Steak and Frites Skewers are an elevated version of the classic French steak and fries, served as bite-sized skewers. Tender steak cubes are paired with crispy fries and drizzled with a flavorful dipping sauce, making this a fun and delicious appetizer or main course.
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut fries with olive oil and salt, then spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Prepare the steak skewers: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Rest the steak for a few minutes, then thread the cubes onto small skewers.
- Assemble the skewers: Alternately thread the crispy fries and steak cubes onto the skewers. Stack a couple of fries for added crunch if necessary.
- Prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Serve: Arrange the skewers on a platter, drizzle with the dipping sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Seasoned fries: You can add garlic powder, rosemary, or other herbs to the fries for extra flavor.
- Vegetarian option: Substitute steak with plant-based protein like tempeh or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
- Spicy sauce: Add hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the dipping sauce for extra heat.
