Steak frites, a beloved dish often attributed to French culinary traditions, may also have Belgian origins. Executive chef Guillaume Thivet from Grand Brasserie suggests skirt steak for an authentic experience due to its rich flavor and perfect balance of fat and tenderness. With steak frites consisting of steak, crispy fries, and sauce, choosing the right meat is crucial. Skirt steak stands out as a cost-effective option while delivering the unique flavor that makes this dish so popular in restaurants.
"I like skirt steak, mostly for its rich flavor, especially [when] grilled," Thivet reveals. "It's thin, but (...) the right amount of fat and tenderness make it one of my favorite choices."
Skirt steak may have a higher fat content, but it's the fat that gives the meat a true, balanced, beefy taste and texture.
Steak frites have three main components: steak, french fries, and a good sauce to tie it all together. Selecting the perfect cut of meat is important.
