Ingredients

Steak and marinade

  • 1.5 pounds skirt steak
  • 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablesoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Cowboy butter

  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 lemon juice of

Fries

  • 26 ounces frozen french fries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija

Instructions

  • Mix the steak with the marinade ingredients. Cover and set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat a large grill pan over medium high heat. Cook the steaks to brown on both sides and cook to medium in the center. About 6 minutes per side.
  • Remove the steaks and put them into a bowl. Turn the heat to low.
  • Add in all the cowboy butter ingredients, stirring and mixing as you go. After the steak has rested about 10 minutes, pour the accumulated juices from the steak bowl into the butter mixture. Stir and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Set aside, covered at room temperature until ready to use, shaking every 10 minutes to keep it emulsified.
  • Preheat the oven to 475. Toss the fries with some oil and salt and spread on 2 large baking sheets. Bake the fries for about 20 minutes, tossing once in the middle of cooking. (keep in mind manufacturers instructions, but I usually cook them hotter than it says on the package.)
  • Pour the fries onto a serving platter and top with the steak. Pour on the butter, then top with parsley and cotija.
