Steak

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Steak

  1. 4

    Season the Steak

    Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

  3. 6

    Add Butter and Aromatics

    In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, garlic cloves (smashed), and thyme to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks as they finish cooking.

  4. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
