Tips For the Perfect Steak Frites
For a perfectly cooked steak, aim for medium rare. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side then reduce heat and cook to your liking, baste with butter for extra flavour. Let it rest under foil for a few minutes so the meat will retain its juices. For a balanced flavour, add a splash of brandy or a touch of Dijon mustard to the Roquefort sauce. Pair with roasted vegetables or a green salad to complement the rich, creamy sauce. This Beef Fillet with Roquefort Sauce is a decadent yet simple recipe perfect for French cheese lovers.
