1
Prepare the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped fresh rosemary on both sides.
3
Grill the Steak
Preheat your grill to high heat. Once hot, place the steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak.
4
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.
6
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them become crispier when fried.
7
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove any excess moisture.
8
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
9
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
10
Drain and Season the Fries
Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle immediately with salt to taste.
