Ingredients
For the Steak:
1 boneless ribeye steak (about 1–1¼ inch thick)
Kosher salt + freshly cracked pepper
1 tbsp neutral oil (canola or avocado)
Optional: 1 tbsp unsalted butter + fresh thyme for basting
For the Fries:
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
Optional: garlic powder, smoked paprika, or truffle salt
To Serve:
Small handful of microgreens or baby arugula
Fresh cracked pepper or flaky salt to finish
Directions
1. Prep the Fries:
Soak fries in cold water for 15–30 minutes (removes starch = crispier fries).
Drain and dry well with a towel. Toss in a bowl with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
2. Air Fry the Frites:
Preheat your bella 4qt Slim Air Fryer to 375°F.
Add fries in a single layer (you may need to cook in two batches).
Cook for 14–17 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until fries are golden and crisp. Keep warm.
3. Cook the Steak:
Pat the ribeye dry, season generously with salt and pepper.
Set your bella Fold & Store Griddle to Medium-High heat (around 400°F).
Drizzle a little oil directly onto the hot griddle surface.
Sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp ~130°F).
Optional: During the last minute, add butter and a sprig of thyme to the griddle and baste the steak with a spoon.
Rest steak for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
4. Plate it Up:
Arrange steak slices on one side of the plate, stack the fries beside it, and add a handful of microgreens or baby arugula.
Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky salt or fresh pepper.
