Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and Peel: Begin by thoroughly washing the potatoes under cold water. Peel the potatoes if desired, although leaving the skin on can add extra texture and flavor.
- Cut into Chips: Slice the potatoes into thick chip shapes. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking. Each chip should be around 1 cm wide.
- Set Temperature: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Season and Oil: Place the potato chips in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with a dash of salt. Toss the chips to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Bake: Spread the chips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake Time: Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crisp on the outside, and tender inside.
- Season: While the chips are baking, take your beef fillets and season them with a dash of salt on both sides. You can also add pepper or any additional spices you prefer.
- Rest at Room Temperature: Allow the seasoned steaks to rest at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a heavy skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of olive oil if necessary.
- Sear the Steaks: Once the pan is hot, carefully place the beef fillets in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on preferred doneness). Ensure you do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Rest Time: Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Plating: Plate the thick chips and place one beef fillet on each plate.
- Optional Garnish: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or a dollop of herb butter if desired.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- For even cooking, make sure the beef fillets are at room temperature before you cook them.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into evenly sized thick chips to ensure they cook evenly.
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and achieve crispier chips.
- Preheat your oven and ensure it is at the right temperature before placing the chips inside.
- Allow the beef fillets to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
By following these steps and tips, you'll be able to create a mouthwatering steak with homemade thick chips that will leave everyone asking for seconds. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors of tender beef fillets paired with perfectly crisp chips, making this dish a new favorite in your culinary repertoire.
