Pile your hot, garlicky parmesan fries onto a big plate. Lay out those steak slices on top. Spoon lemon herb aioli here and there, then scatter some chives if you're feeling fancy. Eat right away while everything’s still warm.

Crank a pan up to medium-high. Toss in beef tallow. Press the steak’s fat side to the pan for a minute, then cook each flat side for 2–3 minutes, depending how you like it. Rest meat for at least 5 minutes before slicing it up.
03 -
While the fries are fresh out of the oven, shower them with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and chopped parsley.
04 -
Spread your coated fries out on a tray lined with parchment. Bake for 30 minutes at 220°C, flipping them halfway through. At the end, hit broil for 5 minutes so they get brown and crispy.
05 -
Once soaked, dump out the water. Pat fries dry using a towel. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, oregano, and pepper so they're well covered.
06 -
Fire up your oven to 220°C (hot!).
07 -
While your potatoes are hanging out in water, shake a generous amount of salt and pepper onto both sides of your steak. Let it sit at room temp to take the chill off.
08 -
Drop potato sticks in a bowl filled with cold ice water. Let them bathe for 10–15 minutes; this pulls out some starch.

Peel those russet potatoes, slice the long way into planks, and then cut them into thin 6 mm sticks like classic fries.
