Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ribeye steak (1-inch thick)
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 large russet potatoes (about 1 lb)
- Vegetable oil for frying (enough to fill pot)
Instructions
- Wash and peel the russet potatoes, cutting them into thin strips. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Season both sides of the ribeye steak generously with salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Fry soaked potato strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
- In a hot cast-iron skillet, add olive oil and sear the seasoned steak with rosemary for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Remove from heat, cover with foil, and let rest for five minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with crispy fries.
