Steak

French Fries

Method

Preparing the Herb Butter

  1. 1

    Make the Herb Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, shape it into a log, and refrigerate until firm.

Cooking the French Fries

  1. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble fries. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Drain and pat dry the soaked potatoes with a paper towel. Carefully add the potatoes in batches to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 4

    Season the Steak

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

  2. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Slice the grilled steak and top with a generous slice of the prepared herb butter. Serve alongside the crispy French fries.
