Eat This: Steak Frites at The Libertine

Editor's note: The Libertine has closed.

STEAK FRITES at THE LIBERTINE are corner bistro comfort. Flank steak is covered in an aromatic rub and seared for a charred outer crust and meltingly tender center. The stunner is served with twice-fried, hand-cut fries with a perfect crisp-tender bite. And the pièce de résistance? Teetering atop the meat, a quenelle of foie gras butter slowly melts while you eat, coating each bite with savory decadence.
