Steak frites, meaning “steak [and] fries” in French, is a dish consisting of
steak paired with
French fries . It is commonly served in European
brasseries , and is considered by some to be the
national dish of
Belgium , which claims to be the place of its invention.
Historically, the rump steak was commonly used for this dish. More typically at the present time, the steak is an entrecôte also called rib eye, or scotch fillet (in Australia), pan-fried rare (“saignant “—literally “bloody”), in a pan reduction sauce, sometimes with hollandaise or béarnaise sauce, served with deep-fried potatoes (French fries ).
