Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 4 large potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the potatoes. Wash and scrub the 4 large potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. You can choose to peel them or leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
- Cut each potato into wedges. To do this, slice the potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the wedges until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
- While the grill is heating, prepare the ribeye steaks. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a good sear. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Once the grill is hot, place the seasoned ribeye steaks on it. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them, to develop a nice crust.
- After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks and continue to grill for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
- While the steaks are grilling, prepare the potato wedges for frying. Heat a large pot or deep fryer with oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato wedges in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
- Fry the potato wedges for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt while they are still hot.
- Once the steaks are done grilling, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a more tender steak.
- To serve, place the grilled ribeye steaks on plates alongside a generous portion of crispy fried potato wedges. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your delicious grilled ribeye steak with homemade crispy fried potato wedges!
Tips
- Always pat your steaks dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect sear and beautiful crust.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness - it takes the guesswork out of grilling.
- Let your steaks rest after grilling to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness.
- When frying potato wedges, maintain oil temperature around 350°F for optimal crispiness.
- Cut potato wedges uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture.
- Season potatoes and steaks generously - don't be shy with salt and spices!
- If you don't have a grill, a cast-iron skillet works wonderfully for cooking steaks.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to your potato seasoning.
