- Sea salt
- Freshly gound pepper
- 2 russet or other baking potatoes, washed and cut into shoestrings (roughly ⅜" x ⅜")

- For Herb butter:
- 4 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tsp finely chopped chives

Procedure
Let steaks stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Soak cut potatoes in a bowl of ice water for 20 minutes. Drain well and pat dry thoroughly.
To make herb butter, mix butter, chives and parsley until combined. Butter can be mad ahead and chilled.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan heat 2-3" of peanut oil to 375°F. While oil is heating, cook steaks over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Let steaks rest off the heat on a cutting board.
