Steak

French Fries

Garlic Butter

Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Sprinkle both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C).

  3. 3

    Add Olive Oil and Herbs

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Brush this mixture over the steaks.

  4. 4

    Grill the Steaks

    Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust time for your preferred doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

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

Making French Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 8

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

  4. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 10

    Season the Fries

    While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.

Making Garlic Butter

  1. 11

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 12

    Add Garlic and Parsley

    Add minced garlic and chopped parsley to the melted butter, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 13

    Season the Butter

    Add a pinch of salt to the garlic butter and stir to combine.
