1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
2
Add the Steak
Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3
Grill the Steak
Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
4
Rest and Slice
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble French fries.
6
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
7
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).
8
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the soaked potatoes to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
