Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Fresh Herbs

    In the last minute of cooking, add fresh rosemary sprigs to the skillet for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Frites Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch wide). Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Dry the Potatoes

    Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they fry properly.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

  5. 9

    Drain and Season

    Remove the frites from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve it on a plate alongside a generous portion of frites.

  2. 11

    Add Finishing Touches

    Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the steak and frites for added flavor and presentation.
