Ingredients:
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. Be sure to turn the fries halfway through the cooking time for an even golden crisp.
Next, prepare the caramelized onions. In a skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the thinly sliced onions to the pan. Sprinkle the onions with sugar and stir occasionally as they cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing them to slowly caramelize and turn a rich golden brown. Once they have caramelized, add balsamic vinegar to the pan, stir, and let it cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set the onions aside.
Now, it's time to cook the ribeye steaks. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a separate skillet over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steaks and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired doneness. After cooking, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
To serve, plate the ribeye steaks and top each with a generous portion of the caramelized onions. Place the crispy French fries alongside the steak. Garnish with freshly cho
