Steak

Grill the steak
Preheat your grill to high heat. Once hot, place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision (130°F for medium-rare).

Rest the steak
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
French Fries
- 5
Prepare the potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 6
Soak the potatoes
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them become crispier when fried.
- 7
Heat the oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 8
Fry the potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

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