- Marinate steaks refrigerated for at least 4 hours or overnight if possible.
- Remove steak from refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

- In a large skillet add about 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter and heat over medium high heat, place steaks in pan and cook 4 minutes on each side.
- Place steak in the oven and cook 4 more minutes on each side, remove steak from oven and allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting.
To Prepare the Potatoes:
- Slice potatoes into 1/2-1 inch slices, I like mine cut in between those measurements.
- In a large bowl soak potatoes for thirty minutes in ice cold water, drain potatoes and soak again in more cold water for thirty more minutes.
- Drain Fries and dry well using napkins or a towel.
- Get two sheet pans ready, lined with paper napkins to drain fries.
- In a large pot fill with cooking oil halfway only, to prevent overspill. Heat oil to between 310-320 degrees.
- Fry fries in batches for 5 minutes only, stirring to prevent sticking and remove to a tray covered in paper towels to drain.
- Do not cook longer for five minutes you do not want fries to brown.
- Repeat until all fries have been cooked.
- Allow fries to rest, do not stack on top of each other for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes heat oil to 365 degrees and fry fries for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lighting with creole seasoning.
