Ingredients
  

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

2 medium onions, thinly sliced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

4 medium potatoes, cut into fries

Paprika (optional, for seasoning fries)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Onions: In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown (about 15-20 minutes). Add minced garlic and thyme, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut potatoes in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.

      Cook the Ribeye: While the fries are baking, season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted and bubbling, carefully place the ribeyes in the skillet.

        Sear the Steaks: Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop a nice crust. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F/54°C), adjusting time for preferred doneness.

          Rest the Steaks: Remove the ribeyes from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to keep them juicy.

            Serve: On a plate, place the ribeye steak and top generously with the caramelized onions. Serve alongside the crispy French fries, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
