I seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper. Seared over high heat in a cast iron skillet, 3 minutes per side, and then moved to a 400 degree oven for about 5 or 6 minutes. It was good but could have used a little more salt, and maybe would have been better grilled.<\/p>\n<p>And we had fries.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"by leighadactyl, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/leighadactyl\/13961467383\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2915\/13961467383_8214656d8b.jpg\" alt=\"fries\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I used <a href=\"http:\/\/food52.com\/recipes\/18338-roasted-slap-fries-with-srirachannaise\">this recipe<\/a>, but although they were really tasty (REALLY TASTY), I don&#8217;t think all the spices\u00a0were necessary. It&#8217;s more the technique. Toss in oil, spread in a single layer on oiled cookie sheets, bake at 400 for 20 or 30 minutes, to your desired doneness\/crispiness, flipping fries and rotating pans every 10 minutes or so.<\/p>\n<p>I also made sriracha mayo as detailed in the\u00a0recipe (though just eyeballing, not using the specified proportions). It mostly just reminded me of sushi\/kimbap because I&#8217;ve made it for that. Tonight&#8217;s other sauces included a horseradish sour cream (glob of sour cream, glob of horseradish to taste), mostly for the steak, and a cheater aioli, which was wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheater Aioli<\/strong><br \/>\nGood mayo (we usually stock Spectrum organic or some such)<br \/>\nPressed or minced garlic<br \/>\nLemon<br \/>\nTouch of salt<br \/>\nDrop of mustard<\/p>\n<p>I think you could probably simplify this further by omitting the salt and mustard.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight&#8217;s dinner really made us think we should be making fries more often.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sirloin steak was on sale\u00a0recently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dinner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":165,"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164\/revisions\/165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.leighadactyl.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
