Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries

Ingredients:

For the Ribeye Steak:

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

For the French Onions:

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup beef broth (optional for extra flavor)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

For the French Fries:

• 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or other seasonings

Instructions:

1. Prepare the French Fries:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
• Toss the fries with olive oil and seasonings. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

2. Cook the French Onions:

• While the fries are baking, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and pepper.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Add beef broth and balsamic vinegar if using, and cook for another 5 minutes until the liquid evaporates.

3. Cook the Ribeye Steaks:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and herbs.
• Add olive oil to the pan and sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for your desired doneness.
• Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

4. Serve:

• Place each ribeye steak on a plate, topped with the caramelized French onions. Serve alongside a generous portion of French fries.

Tips:

• Doneness: Use a meat thermometer for perfect steak doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
• Customize Fries: Experiment with seasonings for the fries, like Parmesan cheese or herbs for extra flavor.

Enjoy your ribeye steak with French onions and fries!
