Nothing pairs with a steakhouse ribeye quite like classic steak fries, am I right? Just thinking about it has me drooling for those fat fingerlings of fluffy potato, perfectly crisped and steaming hot! It must have something to do with that fabulously fluffy inside that you just can’t get with matchstick or traditional fries! Steak fries go perfectly with anything equally hearty, from juicy hamburgers to filling filets!

With this recipe, you’ll be serving them up alongside any of your favorite red meats, be it perfect pork steak or Instant Pot filet! There’s nothing stopping you from eating them all on their own or decorating them in savory favorites like melted cheese and chives, bacon and chili, or all of the above for a grubby ’90s-kid mall classic!

Are Steak Fries Healthy?

Steak fries are actually one of the healthier ways to cook fries. That’s because each fry, though larger than most, requires minimal oil to crisp them compared to matchstick and other fry variants. That means more of that iron-rich goodness (and less of that fattening oil) per bite!

Our recipe for steak fries can be made totally vegan and go with anything you’re already cooking! That makes them a crowd pleaser for any dietary needs.

What’s up with all the different cuts of fries?

Though they’re all made from potatoes and fried one way or another, the different cuts of fries actually contribute a lot to a meal’s cohesiveness! Depending on the amount of potato crispiness and fluffiness, you get different textures that each complement different kinds of dishes!

Matchstick fries are phenomenal if you want an extremely crispy accompaniment to classic diner food like smash burgers and milkshakes. Meanwhile steak-cut fries offer a lot more fluffy potato in every fantastic fingerling to complement the meat-and-potatoes style dinners you’d get at classic steakhouses.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp high-heat cooking fat (such as tallow, ghee, olive oil, or avocado oil)

FAQs & Tips

How do I prep and store these fries?

Steak fries are a quick whip-up to make and store easily in any container! What’s best about them, however, is that they can taste even better after reheating. Technically called double-fried fries, tossing your finished fries in a bit of oil and popping them back into the air fryer gets them extra toasty while preserving that fluffy goodness inside!

Should I serve these plain or decorated?

You can serve your steak fries exactly how you like ’em! I personally like to dollop a bit of melted cheddar and Pepper Jack cheese to make them into classic cheese fries! My spouse really savors mall-style chili fries with steak-fry fluffiness!

Which potatoes make the best fries?

Russet potatoes make the best fries, but if you need to compromise, Yukon Gold potatoes can make some delicious fried goodies, too!

Serving Suggestions

This whole recipe is chock-full of delicious pairings for steak fries! Any of them are perfect to serve alongside your freshly fried steak potatoes, but they’re especially good with stovetop sirloin for that classic steakhouse experience! If you’re looking for a vegan favorite, try black bean burgers with a side of steak potatoes!
