Chef's tips

• Use firm potatoes for crispy fries.
• Allow the baguette dough to rest sufficiently to develop flavors.
• Ensure the pan is hot before searing the beef for a nice crust.

Storage

Consume immediately. Leftovers can be kept for 24 hours in the fridge and eaten cold in a salad to avoid overcooking the meat when reheating.
