Preparation
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries of your desired thickness. Soak them in ice water for 2 hours or overnight.
- Salt your ribeye steaks generously and let them brine in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Preheat oil in a large pan to 275°F. Pat the potatoes dry and fry them in batches for 5-6 minutes until soft but not browned.
- Place the fries on a sheet pan lined with paper towels and freeze them for 30-45 minutes.
- Melt the butter and let it cool. Sauté the shallot, tarragon, chives, vinegar, and wine over medium-low heat until the liquid absorbs. Cool the mixture.
- Bring the steaks to room temperature.
- In a metal bowl, whisk together the yolks, 2 tbsp of melted butter, the tarragon mixture, white pepper, and Tabasco.
- Place the bowl over a simmering pot of water and whisk until the mixture turns pale yellow and thickens (about 2 minutes). Slowly drizzle in the remaining butter while whisking to emulsify. Remove from heat.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on high for 2 minutes. Pat the steaks dry and sear for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest.
- Increase the frying oil to 375°F and fry the potatoes until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and parsley.
- Slice the steaks and serve with the fries, béarnaise sauce, and garnish with chives and black pepper.
