Steak Frites Recipe

Prepare the Steak

Season the ribeye steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Cook the Steak

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ribeye steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips to form fries. Rinse the fries in cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Fry the Potatoes

In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the fries in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Toss to combine.

Dress the Salad

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
