Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Onions
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Fries
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Optional chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat and Roast Fries: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cut potatoes on a baking sheet, toss with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Caramelize Onions: While the fries bake, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and thyme. Cook, stirring often for 15 to 20 minutes, until onions are deeply caramelized.
- Add Garlic and Deglaze: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to deglaze the pan. Let simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Season and Sear Steaks: Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer as desired.
- Rest Steaks: Remove steaks from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate the ribeye steaks topped with caramelized French onions alongside the crispy fries. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your delicious steak dinner!
Notes
- For added richness, finish the steaks with a pat of butter while resting.
- Swap russet potatoes for sweet potatoes if you prefer a sweeter twist.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
