 Ingredients

For the Steak:

1 ribeye or sirloin steak (1-inch thick)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
For the Caramelized Onions:

1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
For the Fries:

2 large potatoes, cut into fries
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Dipping Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fries: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.

2. Cook the Steak: Rub steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Sear steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust as needed). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3. Caramelize the Onions: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Add sugar if desired.

4. Make the Dipping Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. Assemble & Serve: Plate the steak, top with caramelized onions, and add fries on the side. Serve with the dipping sauce and garnish with parsley if desired.
