Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 to 1.25 ribeye steak
- 2 sweet onions
- 1.5 pounds french fries
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Slice two large sweet onions into paper-thin ribbons, ensuring each slice is uniform for consistent caramelization.
- Pat both 8-10 oz ribeye steaks completely dry using paper towels and generously season each side with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet to 425°F for 3-4 minutes until smoking hot and add steak, searing exactly 4 minutes on the first side without moving.
- Flip steaks and cook additional 3-4 minutes, achieving a deep golden-brown crust while maintaining medium-rare internal temperature of 135°F.
- Transfer steaks to a resting plate and reduce skillet heat to medium-low, adding 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
- Scatter onion slices across hot butter, spreading them evenly and stirring occasionally for 6-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder and 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves over caramelizing onions, continuing to stir gently.
- Return steaks to skillet, nestling them atop onions and allowing flavors to meld for 2 additional minutes.
- Plate steaks with abundant onion topping and serve immediately with crispy french fries.
Notes
- Slice onions uniformly with a sharp knife to ensure consistent caramelization and tender texture.
- Let the ribeye rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to guarantee even searing and juicier results.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat distribution and delicious golden-brown crust on your steak.
- For lower-carb diets, replace fries with roasted asparagus or a crisp green salad to keep the meal balanced and delicious.
