Prepare the Steak
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Fries
- 5
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to form fries.
- 6
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispy fries.

Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove moisture.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.
Herb Butter

Prepare the Herb Butter
In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced parsley, minced chives, minced garlic, and lemon juice.

Mix Well
Using a fork or spatula, mix all ingredients until thoroughly combined. You can also use a food processor for a smoother consistency.

Chill the Butter
Transfer the herb butter to a piece of plastic wrap, roll it into a log shape, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
