Steak

Method

Prepare the Chips

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips to form hand-cut chips.

  2. 2

    Soak the Chips

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Chips

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the dried chips to the hot oil in batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Prepare the Steak

  1. 7

    Season the Steak

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

  2. 8

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet or grill pan, heat over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 9

    Cook the Steak

    Place the seasoned steaks in the hot pan and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

  4. 10

    Add Rosemary

    In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the sprig of fresh rosemary to the pan for added flavor.

  5. 11

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
