Steak with Blue Cheese and Fries Recipe

Heat oven to 450°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil (for easy cleanup) and heat a large stovetop ridged grill pan over medium heat (see Note).

Spread frozen french fries in a single layer on baking sheets. Bake 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, sprinkle steaks with pepper and place on grill pan. Grill 3 minutes. Turn steaks over; scatter blue cheese on top and grill 3 minutes longer, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted from side to middle registers 140°F. Remove and let rest a few minutes (temperature will rise to 145°F for medium-rare).

Note: If you don’t have a large ridged grill pan, use 2 large nonstick skillets.
