What Makes This Recipe So Good
One of my favorite things about this recipe is right there in the name – sheet pan steak and fries. The steak and fries are cooked entirely on one pan! That means it’s super easy to make and even easier to clean up.A simple bearnaise sauce adds SO much to an already perfect steak. It’s rich, buttery, and creamy, and it only takes a couple of minutes in the microwave to whip up.There’s no fancy steak-cooking methods (like sous vide or reverse sear or even air frying) with this recipe. All you have to do is season your steak and then pop it under the broiler until it’s the perfect temperature.
Key Ingredients
Steak – Any type of steak will work with this recipe, so choose your favorite and get cooking! I like to use sirloin, New York strip, or rib eyes. I try to use steaks that are 1″-1.5″ thick, but if yours are thinner (or thicker) than that, no problem. The recipe card below has recommended cook times based on the thickness of the steak you’re using!Russet Potatoes – Russets are starchy and give you that delicious “fry” texture, so they’re ideal for sheet pan steak and fries! I highly recommend topping the potato wedges with a little grated parmesan while they’re still hot. The cheese melts a little on the potatoes and is SO good with the oil, salt, and parsley. Simple but delicious!
Chef’s Tips
The bearnaise sauce uses egg yolks only. You can buy the yolks in a carton, or you can buy whole eggs and separate the yolks yourself. Not sure what to do with leftover egg whites?

The best way to determine if your sheet pan steak and fries are ready is to test the internal temperature of the steak with a meat thermometer. Remember that the steak will keep cooking as it rests, so you’ll want to take it out of the oven just shy of your desired internal temp. For example, if you’re aiming for a medium temp, your steak should be in the 140°-145°F range inside. Take it out of the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F, and it’ll come up the rest of the way on the cutting board.
