Ingredients:

Ribeye Steak:

2 ribeye steaks (1 1/2 inches thick)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Caramelized Onions:

2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt to taste
Crispy Fries:

2 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Fries:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Spread in a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Caramelize the Onions:

In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until soft and golden.
Stir in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and set aside.
Cook the Ribeye Steaks:

Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking.
Add steaks to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
During the last minute, add butter, smashed garlic, and herbs, basting the steaks with the melted butter.
Remove steaks from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the Feast:

Plate the ribeye steaks topped with caramelized onions.
Serve alongside the crispy fries.
Tips:
Extra Crispy Fries: Soak the potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then pat dry.
Steak Doneness: Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness; use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Serve With: Pair with a side of garlic butter, steak sauce, or a fresh green salad.
Enjoy!
