Steak

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

    Preheat the Grill

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Once the grill is hot, add the ribeye steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add crushed garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan for flavor.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

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

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  2. 6

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 7

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry. Fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 9

    Season the Fries

    Sprinkle the hot fries with salt immediately after removing them from the oil.
