Steak

Garlic Butter

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper generously on both sides of the ribeye steaks. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust time for desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 5

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add minced garlic cloves and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice. Remove from heat.
