Top Sirloin with Roquefort Butter, Broiled Asparagus, & Oven Fries

Roquefort Butter

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , at room temperature
• 1/2 ounce Roquefort gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon brandy 

 Directions:
Mash together butter, cheese, and brandy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top each cooked steak with portion of flavored butter and serve immediately.

Oven Fries

 Ingredients:

• 3 russet potatoes (about 8 ounces each), peeled, each potato cut lengthwise into 10 to 12 evenly sized wedges
• 5 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil olive oil

Directions: 
1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 475 degrees. Place potatoes in large bowl and cover with hot tap water; soak 10 minutes. Meanwhile, coat 18 by 12-inch heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet (see note) with 4 tablespoons oil and sprinkle evenly with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
2. Drain potatoes. Spread potatoes out on triple layer of paper towels and thoroughly pat dry with additional paper towels. Rinse and wipe out now-empty bowl; return potatoes to bowl and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet; cover tightly with foil and bake 5 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until bottoms of potatoes are spotty golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating baking sheet after 10 minutes. Using metal spatula and tongs, scrape to loosen potatoes from pan, then flip each wedge, keeping potatoes in single layer. Continue baking until fries are golden and crisp, 5 to 15 minutes longer, rotating pan as needed if fries are browning unevenly. 
3. Transfer fries to second baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve. 

Broiled Asparagus

Liberally coat in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, bake until just about finished, and then broil for a minute or two. (I baked it at 325 deg F for maybe 20 minutes until it was starting to look done, took out the bread pudding for a moment, and broiled the asparagus until it was finished.)
