Ingredients
  

2 ribeye steaks (1 inch thick)

4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Chili flakes (for added spice)

Instructions
 

Prep the Fries: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

    Bake the Fries: Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.

      Prepare the Steaks: While the fries are baking, take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

        Cook the Steaks: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired doneness.

          Add Flavor: In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for an extra layer of flavor.

            Rest the Steaks: Once cooked to your preference, remove the steaks from the skillet, cover them loosely with aluminum foil, and let them rest for at least 5 minutes.

              Plate the Dish: Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Slice the rested steaks against the grain and serve alongside the fries.

                Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the steaks and fries for a fresh finish. Optionally, add chili flakes if you like a bit of heat.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the steak slices on a rustic wooden board alongside a generous heap of fries. Drizzle some of the leftover herb-infused melted butter from the skillet on top of the steak for an enticing finish.
