About Steak Frites

Considered the quintessential French bistro dish. The fries are double-cooked for maximum crispness. The steak is typically entrecote with a shallot butter sauce. Belgium claims the fries were invented there, not France. The simplicity is the point: perfect execution of basic ingredients.
