Steak

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. Rub the mixture generously over both sides of the ribeye steaks. Allow them to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F or 232°C). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the marinated ribeye steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare, then flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier steak.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 6

    Heat Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer for accuracy.

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 8

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt and paprika to taste. Toss to evenly coat.
