Steak

Garlic Butter

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Once hot, place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) for fries.

  2. 6

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain and dry the potatoes thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 9

    Season the Fries

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

Garlic Butter

  1. 10

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 11

    Add Parsley

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt to taste.
