1
Prep the Steak
Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2
Season the Steak
Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, then generously season with salt and black pepper.
3
Sear the Steak
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adding garlic cloves and rosemary to the skillet for flavor.
4
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.

5
Prep the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about ¼ inch thick).
6
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
7
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
8
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
9
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
