1
Season the Steak
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
2
Cook the Steak
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over high heat. Once hot, add the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for the desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

3
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
4
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
5
Fry the Potatoes
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot (about 350°F/175°C), carefully add the potatoes in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt.
