Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and steaks to a medium bowl. Stir to combine thoroughly; set aside.

  2. Combine the cumin, coriander, red wine vinegar, beef broth, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside. In a large skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil until shimmering.

  3. Add the French fries and fry over high heat until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes; drain on paper towels.

  4. While the French fries are cooking, drizzle some canola oil into a frying pan or wok (enough to completely cover the bottom of the pan) over high heat.

  5. Wait until the oil is hot, then start browning half of the steaks: brown on one side, flip, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  6. Remove the steak and repeat with the second half. (Stir-fry a few slices of steak at a time so they do not steam.)

  7. Stir-fry each batch for 2 minutes on each side or until golden and crisp.

Chef's Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat quickly over high heat to avoid overcooking the beef.

Make Ahead: Slice the beef and vegetables and mix the sauce up to 24 hours in advance; store separately and cook just before serving for the best texture.

Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as the beef and vegetables lose texture, and the fries become soggy after thawing.
