1
Season the Steak
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Steak
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (135°F for medium-rare).
3
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
4
Garnish
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the steaks before serving.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
6
Soak the Fries
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
7
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
8
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the soaked and dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
9
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste.
