Steak

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Drying the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 325°F (160°C).

  5. 5

    Frying the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips in batches to the hot oil and fry for about 5-6 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. 6

    Second Fry

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C), then fry the potatoes again in batches for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and season with salt to taste.

Grilling the Steak

  1. 7

    Preparing the Steak

    Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil on both sides and season with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.

  2. 8

    Marinating

    Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to marinate.

  3. 9

    Grilling the Steak

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved.

  4. 10

    Resting the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh rosemary on top before serving.
