Steak

Garlic Herb Butter

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked potatoes to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Steak

  1. 5

    Season the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 6

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garlic Herb Butter

  1. 8

    Prepare the Herb Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 9

    Top the Steak

    Once the steaks have rested, place a generous spoonful of the garlic herb butter on top of each steak before serving.
