Steak

French Fries

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the ribeye steaks and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the marinated steaks on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of your steak. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your preference, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps in achieving crispy fries.

  3. 7

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain and thoroughly dry the potato strips using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

  4. 8

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 10

    Season the Fries

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