Steak & Frites with a Mixed Salad

Fry Steak, mix salad. That's it. Oh, and prepare the potatoes according to this recipe from Martha Stewart Living. And as a bonus, you can take some time cutting out heart-shaped red pepper pieces with a tiny coookie cutter. Just don't expect your significant other to notice your efforts...

2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

2 smal cloves minced garlic
