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. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure to coat evenly.
3
Grill the Steak
Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F). Adjust cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
4
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute within the meat.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch.
6
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to make them crispy.
7
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
8
Fry the Potatoes
Remove the fries from the water and dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
9
Season the Fries
Immediately sprinkle the fries with salt while they are still hot for better adherence.
