There is much debate over the origin of steak frites. Is it French? Belgian? A little bit of both
What's undeniable is the winning combination of perfectly seasoned, juicy steak and crispy, golden fries.
Half of the magic of steak frites is the steak, sometimes referred to as French steak.
We spoke with steak expert, chef K.C. Gulbro, owner of both FoxFire and Copper Fox, and Chef Ambassador for Certified Angus Beef
According to Chef Gulbro, a cut of French steak comes from the rear leg of a cow, or the inside round
Chef Gulbro says, "The meat is lean and boneless, making it perfect for marinating and adding flavor to dishes such as salad and pasta.
However, he warns that French steak is sometimes used as a catchall term to describe other slabs of meat featuring French cuts.
