1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Remove the fries from the water and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in small batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.
5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

6
Prepare the Steak
Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps them cook evenly.
7
Season the Steak
Rub the steaks with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary on both sides.
8
Grill the Steak
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
9
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
