Steak

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Add fresh rosemary for extra flavor if desired.

Grilling the Steak

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F or 232°C to 260°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Steaks

    Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. Adjust cooking time for your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

Frying the Fries

  1. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-fry thermometer to check the temperature.

  2. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  3. 9

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled steak alongside the crispy fries on a plate. Enjoy your meal!
