Ingredients for Steak Frites
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to create fries. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch, then dry with a kitchen towel.
- 2
Fry the Potatoes
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 325°F (163°C). Carefully add the fries in batches and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
Once the fries have cooled, increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain again, then season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Prepare the Steak
While the fries are frying, season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Cook the Steak
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic cloves and thyme, then place the steaks in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, basting with the oil and herbs.

Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
