1
Seasoning the Steak
Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Cooking the Steak
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the seasoned steaks to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms, then flip.
3
Adding Aromatics
After flipping, add garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
4
Resting the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

5
Preparing the Potatoes
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips for fries. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch.
6
Soaking the Fries
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to achieve crispy fries.
7
Heating the Oil
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
8
Frying the Potatoes
Fry the soaked and drained potato strips in batches, about 4-5 minutes per batch or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
9
Seasoning the Fries
Sprinkle the hot fries with salt immediately after removing them from the oil.
