Steak

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps in even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, and then season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it.

  4. 4

    Flip and Baste

    Flip the steak using tongs. Add butter and a sprig of rosemary to the skillet. As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steak for added flavor. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips (about 1/4 inch wide) to form fries.

  2. 7

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.

  3. 8

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 9

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 10

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove fries and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 11

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste.
