Steak+Frites

Steak Frites Steak Frites is better known as steak and fries. It originated in Belgium or France but no one knows where it really was invented. It is also considered to be the national dish of those countries. The rump steak was commonly used for this dish, however presently a ribeye steak is what is used today. In Australia it is called a Scotch Fillet and it is also popular in Spanish speaking and Portuguese speaking countries. In those places it is called bife e (batatas) fritas or bife com batata frita, and is often served with beans and rice. Typically it is pan-fried rare, where it is still red and bloody, in a pan reduction sauce. Sometimes it is served with Hollandaise or Bearnaise sauce and will always come with deep fried potatoes. You typically eat it with a fork and knife as a main meal. This dish is a very common and popular dish found at brasseries, a type of French restaurant or brewery, and bistros. The prices range depending on where you eat it at, on average it would cost 6 Euros($6.25), but you shouldn't pay more that 18 Euros ($20.15). We should try steak frites because it will remind you of America if you’re homesick. It is one of the most common meals eaten in France.
