Steak

Fries

Garlic Butter

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    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, or until desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Fries Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Rinse the strips in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches and fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Garlic Butter

    Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic cloves and cook gently for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the grilled steak alongside a generous portion of fries. Drizzle the garlic butter over the steak and serve immediately.
