Preheat grill to 450-500°F. Brush steak with oil and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Grill 3-5 minutes per side. Rest 5-10 minutes, then slice against grain.
Cook fries according to package directions until golden and crispy (air fryer at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or deep fry at 350°F).
In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes. Add cream, bring to gentle simmer. Whisk in Parmesan until melted and thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Pile fries in cast iron skillet, top with sliced steak, drizzle with garlic Parmesan sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and flavor
Bring steak to room temperature for even cooking
Serve immediately for best texture contrast
