1
Season the Steak
Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Sear the Steak
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
3
Add Aromatics
Flip the steaks, add minced garlic and rosemary sprigs to the skillet, and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust time for desired doneness.
4
Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

5
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to make fries.
6
Soak the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.
7
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
8
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
9
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
