Method

Steak and Topping Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Garlic Butter

    In a bowl, combine the black garlic and softened butter. Mix until fully incorporated and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ribeye

    Season the ribeye with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

  3. 3

    Toast the Sourdough

    In the same skillet, lightly toast the sourdough slices until golden brown on both sides.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Steak Sammy

    Spread the black garlic butter on the toasted sourdough. Place the sliced ribeye on top, add crumbled gorgonzola, arugula, and onion strings.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Fries

    Cut the potatoes into thin strips. Rinse and soak in water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 6

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.
