1
Season the Steak
Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Steak
Heat a grill or a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. During the last minute of cooking, add fresh thyme to the pan for flavor.
3
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from heat and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

4
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch.
5
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to help them become crispy when fried.
6
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
7
Fry the Potatoes
Drain and pat the potatoes dry. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
8
Season the Frites
While still hot, sprinkle the fried potatoes with salt to taste.
