Garlic Butter

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F or 232°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Adjust cooking time if you prefer a different doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 6

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps make them crispier.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Fry them in batches for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  1. 9

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 10

    Add Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.

  3. 11

    Finish the Butter

    Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice. Set aside.
