Method
Frites Preparation
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form the frites.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them become crispier.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 325°F (163°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Fry them in batches for about 5-6 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Double Fry the Potatoes
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
Steak Preparation
- 6
Season the Steaks
While the fries are frying, season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 7
Heat the Skillet
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 8
Sear the Steaks
Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- 9
- 10
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serving
- 11
Plate the Dish
Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve alongside the crispy frites.
- 12
Garnish (Optional)
Chop fresh parsley and garlic cloves, and sprinkle them over the steak and frites for added flavor.
