Peel and cut the potatoes into fries.

Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.

Carefully add the fries to the hot oil in batches and fry for about 5 minutes until they are light golden.

Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Season with salt while they are hot.

In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over high heat until shimmering.

Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
