Prep Ahead

Pre-Preparation

Begin by lathering your ribeyes with canola oil and generously seasoning with salt and garlic powder. Next, cover with a thick coating of crushed black peppercorns. Chill in the fridge for 40 minutes. Prep your steakhouse butter. Mix together all the ingredients for the butter in a bowl, then grab some non-stick wax paper or cling wrap and roll up the butter. Chill in fridge.  Lastly, slice your potatoes into fries and place them in a bowl of ice water. Let them soak until you are ready to start cooking.

Step 1

Grill the steaks 

Pull your steaks out of the fridge to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Next, add the steaks to the grill and cook until 120F internal (about 15-25 minutes). Cook the steaks for about 5 minutes per side until you flip them. Do this repetitively until it reaches the right internal temperature.

Step 2

Rest the steaks

 When the steaks are done, pull them off and slice some of the Steakhouse butter into medallions that you add on top of the steak. Let the steaks rest for 15 minutes. Next, heat up a skillet with duck fat until the duck fat is 350F. Dry off your fries and add them to the duck fat.

Step 3

Fry the fries

Cook for about 3 minutes per side on the fries or until they are golden brown and soft in the middle. Do the fries in 2-3 batches so as to not overcrowd the skillet. Once the fries are done, place them on a plate with a paper towel to catch the excess oil. Add the fries to a bowl along with the cheese, salt and chopped parsley. Toss until coated and set aside.

Step 4

Serve

Once the steaks are rested, slice them off the bones and serve with the fries. Serve & enjoy!
