Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Aromatics

    In the last minute of cooking, add crushed garlic cloves and thyme to the skillet, basting the steak with the juices.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

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

French Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

  2. 7

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 8

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked and drained potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 10

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately while they are still hot.
