Steak

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F / 232°C) for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the seasoned steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. During the last minute of cooking, add the fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the steaks for flavor.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut fries in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.

  3. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 8

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste. Repeat the frying process for the remaining potatoes.
