Steak

Method

Steak

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 8

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 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.

  6. 10

    Drain and Season the Fries

    Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle immediately with salt to taste.
