Ribeye Steak with Onions and Crispy Fries

Directions

Prepare the Fries:

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
3. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Cook the Steak:

5. Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper.

6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

7. Add the steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

8. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add butter, smashed garlic, and rosemary or thyme to the pan. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for extra flavor.

Caramelize the Onions:

9. In the same skillet (after removing the steaks), add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat until soft and golden brown, about 5–7 minutes.

Serve:

10. Plate the steaks, top with caramelized onions, and serve alongside the crispy fries. Add a wedge of lemon or extra herbs if desired.
