Instructions
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter and the shallots. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the shallots are softened, but not yet colored, about 3 minutes.
Add the vinegar and cook, stirring occasionally, until it evaporates, then add the wine.
Let the wine come to a boil then lower the heat and let the sauce reduce by about half.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining butter; set aside.Prep the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes, peel them if you like, then slice them lengthwise into slabs, 3/8 inch thick.
Cut the slabs lengthwise into 3/8-inch batons.
Place the steak cubes in a medium bowl; toss with a big pinch or two each salt and pepper. Thread the cubes divided evenly onto the 4 prepared skewers. Don’t squeeze them together too tightly. Leave room for the edges to char. Set aside.Give the potatoes their first fry: Preheat the oil in a deep fryer (or tall, deep sided stock pot) to 325 degrees. Line a sheet pan with paper towels to absorb the oil from the cooked potatoes.
Heat grill to high. Grill the meat on the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side until charred on the outside and cooked to medium-rare on the inside (or to your desired doneness). Move to a platter, cover loosely with foil and let the meat rest while you finish the frites.Give the potatoes their second fry: Working with about half the potatoes at a time, fry in the 365 degree oil until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes.
Drain them on a paper-towel lined baking sheet; toss with kosher salt.Gently reheat the sauce and place into a serving vessel.
Serve the frites and steak together; sprinkle with sea salt and garnish with minced herbs (optional).
Serve the sauce on the side for drizzling.Like this:Like Loading...
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak can be paired with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot with a 4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot
The wine's multi-dimensional flavors come from grapes grown in distinctly different terroirs of Napa Valley, including the Carneros, Stags Leap and Oakville districts. Traditional techniques, including native yeasts, extended maceration, aging in French oak barrels and bottling without filtration, enhanced the wine's complexity. This wine is delicious with many entrees and cheeses. One of our favorite food pairings is roast turkey with a wild mushroom and walnut stuffing. Roast leg of lamb, rubbed with fragrant herbs and spices, or grilled pork loin also marry perfectly with the wine's luscious flavors.
