Steak

Garlic Butter

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps 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

    Drain and pat dry the soaked potatoes. Fry them in batches in the hot oil for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 6

    Season the Steak

    Pat the ribeye steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Heat the Pan

    In a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 8

    Cook the Steak

    Add the steak to the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a crust forms. Flip the steak and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  4. 9

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Making Garlic Butter

  1. 10

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 11

    Add Garlic and Parsley

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.

Serving

  1. 12

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested ribeye steak against the grain and serve on a plate alongside the crispy fries.

  2. 13

    Drizzle with Garlic Butter

    Spoon the garlic butter over the sliced steak and fries before serving.
