1
Season the Steak
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C).
3
Cook the Steak
Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
4
Add Garlic and Rosemary
In the last minute of grilling, add whole garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs directly on the grill. This will infuse the steak with additional flavor.
5
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

6
Cut the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
7
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
8
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
9
Fry the Potatoes
Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potatoes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot, for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
10
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle immediately with salt.
