INGREDIENTS
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
2 large onions (thinly sliced)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic (minced)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)
4 large potatoes (cut into fries)
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
Vegetable oil (for frying)
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the fries: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan, fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
Caramelize the onions: In a skillet, melt butter and 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the sliced onions and garlic, cooking on low heat for 20-25 minutes until soft and caramelized. Add thyme if desired.
Cook the steaks: Season the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a pan over high heat, then sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or cook to your preferred doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes after cooking.
