Perfect Ribeye Steak with Onions and Fries: A Classic You’ll Crave Again and Again
Few meals are as satisfying and iconic as a perfectly cooked ribeye steak, served hot with caramelized onions and crispy golden fries. Whether it’s a weekend indulgence or a celebratory dinner, this dish brings bold flavor, comforting sides, and a touch of restaurant-style magic right into your home kitchen.
If you’re ready to master this timeless combination, here’s how to make the perfect ribeye steak with onions and fries—tender, juicy, and absolutely unforgettable.
Why Ribeye?
The ribeye is known for its rich marbling, which means flavor-packed fat running through the meat. When cooked right, it delivers a melt-in-your-mouth texture with bold beefy taste—no sauce required. Add in sweet, golden onions and crispy fries, and you’ve got yourself a complete steakhouse experience.
Ingredients:
For the Steak:
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
For the Onions:
- 1–2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, to help caramelize)
For the Fries:
- 3–4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- Vegetable oil for frying (or use an air fryer or oven)
- Salt to taste
Directions:
1. Prep the Fries:
Soak cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch (this helps them get crispier). Drain and pat dry before frying or baking.
- To fry: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry in batches for 4–5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and season immediately.
- To bake or air fry: Toss fries in a little oil, spread in a single layer, and cook at 425°F (220°C) for 30–40 minutes (flip halfway).
2. Caramelize the Onions:
In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add sliced onions, a pinch of salt, and cook slowly for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a touch of sugar if desired to boost caramelization. Onions should be soft, sweet, and golden brown.
3. Cook the Ribeye:
Let your steaks come to room temperature. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat. Add olive oil or butter.
- Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness.
- During the last minute, add garlic and herbs to the pan and spoon the sizzling butter over the steak for extra flavor.
- Let the steaks rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
