03 - 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange a wire rack atop a baking sheet.
02 - In a large bowl, toss potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread the fries evenly in a single layer on the rack.
03 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crisp.
04 - Meanwhile, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and salt in a mixing bowl. Chill the mixture for 10 minutes.
05 - Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub thoroughly with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
06 - Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting to preferred doneness.
07 - Transfer seared steaks to a plate. Top with a generous spoonful of garlic butter and let rest for 5 minutes.
08 - Present the steaks alongside golden fries, offering remaining garlic butter on the side.
