Steak

French Fries

Garlic Butter

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Grill

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the steaks on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 6

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked potatoes in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 9

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Garlic Butter Preparation

  1. 10

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the stick of unsalted butter.

  2. 11

    Add Garlic and Parsley

    Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then stir in chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice.

  3. 12

    Serve

    Drizzle the garlic butter over the grilled steak just before serving.
