Steak
French Fries
Method
Preparing the Steak
- 1
Season the Steak
Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Sear the Steak
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned steaks to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- 3
Add Flavor
In the last minute of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic cloves, and thyme to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks to baste them.
- 4
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Preparing the French Fries
- 5
Cut the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/4 inch thick strips to form fries.
- 6
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 7
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 8
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 9
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste.
