Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes from the water and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Frying the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 6

    Seasoning the Steak

    Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Searing the Steak

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

  3. 8

    Basting the Steak

    Add butter, garlic cloves, and thyme to the skillet. As the butter melts, spoon it over the steaks for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 9

    Resting the Steak

    Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
