Steak

Garlic Butter

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the ribeye steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest.

Fries Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch and then dry them thoroughly with a towel.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley and season with salt to taste. Remove from heat.
