1
Prepare the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Cook the Steak
Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the steaks and add the garlic and rosemary. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
5
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

6
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
7
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
8
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
9
Fry the Potatoes (First Fry)
Drain and pat the potatoes dry. Fry them in batches for about 5-6 minutes until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
10
Fry the Potatoes (Second Fry)
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for another 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
