Ribeye Steak with Onions and Fries

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fries

1. Cook the French fries according to the package instructions, or bake/air-fry homemade fries until crispy and golden.
2. Toss the cooked fries with salt and your favorite seasonings.

Step 2: Caramelize the Onions

1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and soft.
3. For extra caramelization, sprinkle the onions with sugar halfway through cooking. Season with salt to taste and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Ribeye Steaks

1. Bring the steaks to room temperature, pat them dry with paper towels, and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat. Add olive oil and sear the steaks for 2–3 minutes per side, or until a golden crust forms.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add minced garlic and herbs, and baste the steaks with the flavored oil for 1–2 minutes.
4. Cook until the internal temperature reaches your preferred doneness:
   • Rare: 125°F (51°C)
   • Medium-rare: 135°F (57°C)
   • Medium: 145°F (63°C)
5. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble the Dish

1. Plate the ribeye steaks and top with caramelized onions.
2. Add a generous serving of fries on the side.
3. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for the fries or a dollop of garlic butter for the steak.
