Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye steak (or your preferred cut)
• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 liter Vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 0 to taste Sea salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing the fries. Peel and cut the russet potatoes into sticks about 1/3 inch thick. Soak them in a large bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

2. While the potatoes soak, let the ribeye steaks come to room temperature. Season both sides generously with sea salt and black pepper.

Step 3

3. Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and place a baking sheet inside to keep the fries warm later.

Step 4

4. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 325°F (163°C) using a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3-4 minutes per batch, or until they are pale and tender but not browned. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

5. Once the oil reaches 375°F, fry the potatoes again in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Transfer the finished fries to the pre-warmed baking sheet in the oven to keep warm.

Step 6

6. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until just smoking. Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Adjust timing based on your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

7. During the last minute of cooking, add butter, whole garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the pan, basting the steaks with the melted butter using a spoon. This enhances the flavor immensely.

Step 8

8. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Step 9

9. Serve the steaks whole or sliced alongside the crispy fries. Enjoy your classic steak frites with a sprinkle of extra sea salt on the fries if desired.
