Ingredients
Scale
For the Ribeye Steak:
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
For the French Onions:
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the French Fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the fries.
- For the French fries: Toss the potato fries with vegetable oil, salt, and paprika if using. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- For the French onions: In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the ribeye steak: Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Add garlic and rosemary to the skillet for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with caramelized French onions and crispy French fries.
Notes
For best results, let the steak come to room temperature before cooking. Adjust the cooking time for the steak based on your preferred level of doneness.
