Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for the steaks)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (for the steaks)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (for the steaks)
• 1 pound russet potatoes, cut into fries
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying the potatoes)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (for the onions)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for the onions)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 ribeye steaks (12 oz each)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for the fries)
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• Salt (for the onions)
• 1 cup beef broth or water, optional (for deglazing)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for the fries)

Directions

Prepare the Fries:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, toss the cut russet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until they are nicely coated.
3. Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
4. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy.
5. Once done, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a lovely garnish.

Caramelize the Onions:

1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
2. Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet.
3. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and turn golden brown.
4. Sprinkle in the sugar and some salt to help with caramelization.
5. If the onions start to stick, pour in beef broth or water to deglaze the pan and lift any browned bits. Once done, set the caramelized onions aside.

Cook the Ribeye Steaks:

1. Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels.
2. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
3. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.
4. Heat a cast-iron skillet until it’s very hot. Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your preference.
5. Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips to Make Grilled Ribeye Even Better

• Always let your steak rest after cooking. This keeps it juicy!
• For extra flavor, marinate the steaks in olive oil, garlic, and thyme for a few hours before cooking.
• Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the steaks for a nice sear.

Enjoy your delicious Grilled Ribeye with Caramelized Onions and Herb Fries! It’s a great meal for any occasion that will satisfy your taste buds. Happy cooking!
