Steak

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ribeye steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    During the last minute of cooking, add the smashed garlic cloves and the fresh rosemary to the skillet, basting the steak with the flavored oil.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Frites Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel.

  4. 8

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 10

    Season the Frites

    Sprinkle the hot frites with salt while they are still hot, tossing to coat evenly.
