🛒 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

1. Toss your sliced potatoes with vegetable oil and salt in a large bowl.
2. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crisp.

Step 3: Caramelize the Onions

1. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and sugar, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes, until beautifully caramelized.
3. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, cook for 2 more minutes, then set aside.

Step 4: Cook the Ribeye

1. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat.
3. Sear each steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference.
4. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to retain all those juices.

Step 5: Serve It Up

1. Plate the ribeye steaks, top with a generous scoop of caramelized onions.
2. Add a heap of oven-baked fries on the side.
3. 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.
