SKIRT STEAK AND SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

• Brush the steaks with the oil and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mix. Grill until they are done to your liking, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steaks from the grill pan and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the tangy herb drizzle. Combine the herbs, vinegar, red pepper flakes and garlic in a small bowl. While mixing with a fork, drizzle in the olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Remove the fries from the oven. Slice the steaks against the grain, and shingle around the fries on the sheet pan. Drizzle the steak with some of the herb drizzle, serving the remainder on the side.
