Steak

Fries

House Salad

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the sirloin steaks. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Fries Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato strips in small batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

House Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
