Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 ribeye steaks
Vegetables:
- 2 yellow onions
- 1 bag French fries
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Collect ribeye steak, yellow onions, olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and frozen French fries to prepare for cooking.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a cast-iron skillet at 400°F (204°C). Season 8-ounce ribeye with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Sear steak for 4-5 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
- Transfer steak to a warm plate. Add 2 large yellow onions (thinly sliced) to the same skillet. Cook onions for 10-12 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves over the onions. Return steak to skillet, reduce heat to 325°F (163°C). Cook additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, reaching internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
- Simultaneously, bake frozen French fries on a sheet pan at 425°F (218°C) for 20-22 minutes. Rotate pan halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
- Remove steak and let rest 5 minutes. Plate ribeye with caramelized onions draped on top, accompanied by golden crisp French fries.
Notes
- Select a high-quality ribeye with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Pat the steak completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown crust when searing.
- Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to help it cook more evenly.
- For gluten-free options, swap frozen fries for homemade hand-cut potatoes roasted with sea salt.
