Steak frites

 ( Beef Dishes ) 

Steak frites, meaning "steak and chipped potatoes" in French, is a dish consisting of beefsteak accompanied by fried chipped potatoes. It is commonly served in Belgian and French , and is considered by some to be the national dish of Belgium, which claims to be the country of origin.

Historically, rump steak was commonly used for this dish. Today, more commonly, the steak is an entrecôte also called rib eye, or scotch fillet (in Australia), Doneness (" saignant"—literally "bloody"), in a pan reduction sauce, sometimes with hollandaise or Bearnaise sauce sauce, served with deep-fried potatoes.

Steak frites is the subject of a semiotics analysis by the French cultural theorist Roland Barthes in his 1957 work Mythologies.
