Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to oven and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare.
Step 2: Meanwhile, toss frozen fries with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Step 3: For aioli, mix mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a bowl. Stir in chives.
Step 4: Let steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with fries and aioli on the side.
