Step 1

To make the bread, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Mix and let sit for 2 minutes. Add your bread flour and salt and mix until combined. Knead on the worksurface for 10 minutes Cover in a greased bowl and let rise for 1-2 hours. Shape your dough into a rectangle. Fold the top corners halfway down to the bottom. Grab the top corners and make the final fold down to make a log. Put on a baking tray lined with parchment. Cover with a towel and let rise for 45-60 minutes. Cook in 500-degree oven with a water pan in the bottom. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the desired colour.

Step 2

Peel and slice your potato into ¼ inch slices. Turn all your layers to the side and cut into batons of your desired thickness. Rinse in cold water until the water is clear. Dry well with a paper towel and fry in 350-degree oil until crispy, roughly 4 minutes depending on how thick you cut them.

Step 3

Salt your steak with kosher salt. Let a pan heat up on medium heat. When hot put in a tablespoon of oil and put in your steak. When you have a nice sear on both sides, add your garlic, thyme, and butter to the pan and bast until 120 degrees internal temperature. Let the steak rest to the side on a wire rack.

Step 4

Get rid of most of the butter but keep 1-2 tablespoons in the pan as well as your thyme and garlic. Add your shallots and cook for 1 minute. Then deglaze with white wine, scraping the fond off the bottom. Reduce your heat and add your cream. Reduce the cream for 2 minutes then add your blue cheese, pepper, and parsley. Turn off the heat and whisk until the cheese melts. Salt to taste.

Step 5

Toast your bread, and add slices of your steak. Pour over the blue cheese sauce, then add your frites. And top with bread. ENJOY.
