Steak-frites is the perfect example of the adage 'why make it complicated when you can make it simple'. A classic French brasserie and bistro dish, steak-frites is as simple as it is tasty. It consists of a piece of grilled or pan-fried meat, usually beef, accompanied by a good handful of crispy, golden fries.

Moist, grilled meat, finger-food fries, sometimes even a pepper sauce to coat the meat or a barbecue sauce to dip the fries in... What could be better?
