Grill the Steak
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and add fresh rosemary sprigs on top. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.

Rest the Steak
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Fries Preparation
- 4
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and dry them thoroughly with paper towels.

Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve immediately with the grilled steak.
