Ingredients
  

2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 large onions, thinly sliced

2 teaspoons sugar

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 cup beef broth

4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fries: Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a towel.

    Season the Steaks: Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

      Cook the Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until they soften. Add the sugar and continue cooking until they turn golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar and beef broth, letting it cook down for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

        Fry the Potatoes: In the same skillet, heat about 3 inches of oil to 350°F. Carefully add the dried fries in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a plate lined with paper towels and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

          Cook the Steak: In a separate skillet over high heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the seasoned ribeye steaks. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust based on your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

            Serve the Dish: Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and plate them alongside a generous serving of French onions and crispy fries.

              Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for color and added flavor.
