For the Steak

Prepare a medium hot wood fire, gas or charcoal grill. Brush grilling surface clean, make sure it is clean and then oil slightly to prevent sticking. Season steaks with salt.

Turn steak back onto first side for 2 more minutes, then turn over again and grill for final 2 minutes. Transfer cooked steak to plate, and allow to rest for 4 to 5 minutes before serving. Slice ribeye on the bias at a 45 degree angle, cutting into 4 to 5 slices. Plate and serve with Crispy Potatoes and Bacon Vinaigrette.

For the Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Combine the potatoes, EVOO, Smoked Bacon, Shallots and seasoning, mix well and spread out onto baking pan.
Place into oven and roast for 15 to 18 minutes or until potatoes are cooked and crisp. Remove from oven. Transfer potatoes to mixing bowl and dress with Vinaigrette.
