Ribeye With Onions and Crispy Fries

Ingredients:

For the Ribeye Steak:

2 ribeye steaks (1-inch thick)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

1 large onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, smashed

Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional for extra flavor)

For the Crispy Fries:

4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), cut into fries

2-3 tbsp vegetable oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: garlic powder or smoked paprika for seasoning

Instructions:

Prepare the Fries: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato fries in vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Season and Sear the Steak: Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Add Butter and Onions: Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter, sliced onions, smashed garlic, and rosemary or thyme to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the steak with the melted butter and stirring the onions until they’re golden and caramelized.

Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover with foil, and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.

Serve: Plate each ribeye steak with a generous helping of caramelized onions and a side of crispy fries. Optionally, sprinkle fries with more salt or fresh herbs.
