🛒 Ingredients
For the Steak & Onions:
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Fries:
- 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
🔥 Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get those fries extra crispy.
Step 2: Make the Fries
- Toss your sliced potatoes with vegetable oil and salt in a large bowl.
- Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crisp.
Step 3: Caramelize the Onions
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add the onions and sugar, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes, until beautifully caramelized.
- Stir in the balsamic vinegar, cook for 2 more minutes, then set aside.
Step 4: Cook the Ribeye
- Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat.
- Sear each steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to retain all those juices.
Step 5: Serve It Up
- Plate the ribeye steaks, top with a generous scoop of caramelized onions.
- Add a heap of oven-baked fries on the side.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley, and dig in!

🧄 Pro Tips:
- For crispier fries: Soak potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before baking.
- For perfect steak doneness: Use a meat thermometer. Medium-rare is around 130–135°F (54–57°C).
- Want more depth in onions? Add a splash of beef broth or dry red wine with the vinegar.
