Ingredients

Steak:

2-3 Favorite Steaks
2 tbsp SPG
½ cup Marinara Sauce
3 Slices Mozzarella Cheese
½ cup Mini Pepperoni
Canola Oil as needed

Garlic Parmesan Fries:

2-3 Russet Potatoes
1 qt Beef Tallow
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 tbsp Finely Minced Garlic
1.5 tbsp Chopped Parsley
Kosher Salt as needed

Garlic Butter:

1.5 cup Unsalted Butter melted
2 tbsp Minced Garlic
1.5 tbsp Chopped Parsley

Instructions

Fries:

To begin, slice your potatoes into fries and place them in a bowl of ice water. Let them soak until you are ready to start cooking.
Heat up a dutch oven/skillet with beef tallow until the tallow is 350F. Dry off your fries and add them to the beef tallow.
Cook the first time for about 3-4 minutes, pulling them out and letting them cool for 2-3 minutes (Note: Do the fries in 2-3 batches so as to not overcrowd the pan).
Then, add the fries back to the pan and fry again until they are golden brown (about 4-5 more minutes). Once the fries are done, place them on a plate with a paper towel to catch the excess oil.
Add the fries to a bowl along with parmesan, garlic, parsley and toss to evenly coat them. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Steak:

Lay out your steak and season generously with SPG, then set to the side until ready to cook.
Preheat your grill to medium high heat (around 375F) for direct grilling.
Next, add the steaks to the grill and cook until 120F internal (about 10-18 minutes). Cook the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side, flip and continue cooking to build a good crust. Keep flipping every 3-4 minutes until done. When the steaks are done, let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.
Before serving, top each steak with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and mini pepperonis. Place in your oven or broiler on 450F to melt the cheese for 30-60 seconds. Pull off once done.
In a bowl, mix together the garlic butter sauce.
Slice your steak, add it with the fries and top the steak with the garlic butter sauce. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

What's the Best Oil for Making Crispy French Fries?

When it comes to crispy fries, the oil matters. Beef tallow is my top choice, since it gives you that rich flavor and crispy texture you usually only get at a great steakhouse. If you don’t have tallow, peanut oil, or a neutral oil with a high smoke point will also work well. The key is keeping the oil hot and steady so the fries cook evenly and come out golden brown instead of greasy.
