Steak Frites Recipe

Prepare the Steak

Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help them cook more evenly.

Season the Steak

Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Grill the Steak

Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.

Soak the Fries

Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

Fry the Potatoes

Drain and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Prepare the Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of salt, then remove from heat.

Serve the Dish

Slice the grilled steak against the grain and serve it on a plate alongside the crispy fries. Drizzle the garlic butter over the steak and fries for added flavor.
