Method
Steak
- 1
Prepare the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help them cook evenly.
- 2
Season the Steaks
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- 3
Grill the Steaks
Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
French Fries
- 4
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a towel. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season immediately with salt.
Garlic Butter

Prepare the Garlic Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.

Finish the Garlic Butter
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
