Tex's Steak & Chips
- 275 grams Ribeye steak
- 2 medium Maris Piper potatoes
- 2 tbsp groundnut oil
- Take your Maris Pipers or any other fluffy spuds.
- Peel and cut your potatoes into chips about as thick as your little finger.
- Leave to soak in a bowl of water for as long as possible, overnight if you know you'll be eating chips the following day.
- The idea is to draw as much starch from the spuds as possible before cooking.
- Take your steak from the fridge and allow to reach room temperature to ensure even cooking.
- Begin heating the grill plate or skillet.
- Put an enamel plate somewhere to warm.
- Dry your chips on kitchen paper.
- Cook at 130C (270F) for 2-3 minutes Lift out and allow to cool.
- Begin heating the oil to 180-190C.
- (360-375F).
- While it's heating up, begin cooking your steak
- Season and oil both sides of your steak using the groundnut oil.
- Cook the steak for 2-2 1/2 minutes each side on a smoking hot cast iron grill plate or skillet.
- Test with your finger until it's done to your taste
- Remove from the heat and put in the warmed enamel plate to rest for 3 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, put your chips in the hot oil until they float and turn golden brown
- Finally serve and enjoy
