Fries with mayonnaise or one of a wide variety of other typical Belgian sauces is a fast food classic in Belgium, often eaten without any side orders. Prior to 1960, the choice of accompanying items was limited to a pickled herring , a large, cold meatball boulet or red-coloured garlic sausage cervela , or a beef or horsemeat stew.
As with most regional recipes, each cook will have a slightly different variation on how to make the dish.

Steak frites, [a] meaning "steak [and] fries" in the French language, is a dish consisting of a steak paired with fried potatoes. It is commonly served in Belgian and French brasseries, and is considered by some to be the national dish of Belgium, which claims to be the country of origin.
Although moules-frites are popular in many countries, it is thought that the dish originated in Belgium.
