Steak

French Fries

Garnish (optional)

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the seasoned ribeye steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries. Rinse the cut fries in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt and paprika while hot.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the ribeye steak against the grain and serve alongside a generous portion of French fries. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for added flavor.
