Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll be amazed at how the simplest ingredients—quality beef, potatoes, and onions—transform into a feast with just a few clever touches. Each one is chosen for its essential flavor, color, and mouthwatering texture, making this a dish that packs a punch with ingredients you probably already have on hand.

Ribeye steaks (2 boneless, 1 to 1½ inches thick): Choose well-marbled ribeye for maximum tenderness and rich, beefy flavor.
Olive oil (2 tablespoons, plus 1 tablespoon for onions): Gives the steak a golden sear and helps caramelize the onions to savory perfection.
Butter (1 tablespoon for steak, 2 tablespoons for onions): Finishes the steak with richness and deepens the flavor of both steak and onions.
Kosher salt (1 teaspoon for steak, 1/2 teaspoon for onions, 1/2 teaspoon for fries): The foundation of seasoning—don’t skimp!
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon for steak, 1/4 teaspoon for onions): Adds a subtle kick and rounds out the flavors.
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon for steak, 1/4 teaspoon for fries): Layered garlic flavor kicks both steak and fries up a notch.
Fresh thyme or rosemary (1 teaspoon, optional): A touch of fresh herbs as the steak finishes makes the meal feel special.
Yellow onions (2 large, thinly sliced): Choose sweet, mild onions for caramelizing into the ultimate French-style topping.
Sugar (1/2 teaspoon): Helps develop the onions’ signature rich sweetness and color.
Beef broth or water (1/4 cup): Deglazes the pan to capture every bit of savory onion-y goodness.
Russet potatoes (4 medium, cut into thin fries): Russets crisp up beautifully and have that classic fry flavor.
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons): Ensures the potatoes bake up golden and crispy in the oven.
Paprika (1/2 teaspoon): Adds gorgeous color and just a hint of smokiness to the fries.

How to Make Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast

Step 1: Caramelize the French Onions

Start your Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast by slowly cooking the onions—the secret to deep, irresistible flavor. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add your thinly sliced onions with salt, sugar, and pepper. This process takes time: allow the onions to cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re meltingly soft and a deep golden brown. When you’re nearby, the whole kitchen will smell like a Parisian café! Pour in a splash of beef broth or water, scrape up any browned bits, and cook another 5–10 minutes until the onions are jammy and luscious. Set aside, resisting the urge to sample too much before dinner.

Step 2: Bake the Crispy Fries

Nobody can resist hot, golden fries with their steak! While the onions work their magic, preheat your oven to 425°F (or prep your air fryer). Toss your fresh-cut potato sticks with vegetable oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Spread them in a single, even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until each fry is crisp and deeply golden. If you want to use an air fryer, pop them in at 400°F for about 18–20 minutes. Keep an eye on them—the transformation from pale potato to shatteringly crisp fry is pure kitchen alchemy!

Step 3: Sear the Ribeye Steaks

Time for the centerpiece of your feast: the steak! Let the ribeyes rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them dry and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, pressing the seasonings in for maximum flavor. Heat a sturdy cast-iron skillet over medium-high and add olive oil. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare—don’t fiddle with them too much, let the crust develop! During the last minute, drop in butter and your choice of thyme or rosemary, spooning the melted herb butter over the steaks. This step adds layers of richness and aroma that make this Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast live up to its name. Adjust your timing for your perfect doneness.

Step 4: Rest, Assemble, and Serve

Once the steaks are just right, transfer them to a plate and let them rest for 5–10 minutes. Resting ensures all those flavorful juices stay where they belong—inside the steak, not on the cutting board! To serve your Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast, top each ribeye with a lavish mound of caramelized French onions, alongside a tumble of hot fries. Dig in!

How to Serve Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast

Garnishes

Elevate this steakhouse-style feast by sprinkling fresh herbs—like parsley, chives, or a hint of extra thyme—over the top just before serving. A crack of fresh black pepper or a few shavings of Gruyère can really take the Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast over the top. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side for an optional pop of brightness!

Side Dishes

This meal is already a superstar, but a green salad with a light vinaigrette or some simply sautéed spinach makes a refreshing, beautifully colorful contrast. For extra decadence, melt a slice of Swiss or Gruyère over your steak right before topping with onions for that ultimate French onion steak twist.

Creative Ways to Present

For a bistro-inspired flair, slice the steak before topping with onions and arrange the fries artfully in a small basket or stack them Jenga-style. If you’re feeding a crowd, slice everything up and serve family-style on a big platter so everyone can dig into the Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast together!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers from your Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast, let everything cool to room temperature before transferring to airtight containers. Store steak and onions together if possible, and stash the fries separately to help them stay crisp. Everything will keep nicely in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing

While the fries are best enjoyed fresh, both the steak and French onions freeze surprisingly well! Wrap the steak tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and place the onions in a small freezer bag; freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating for that special dinner déjà vu.

Reheating

To keep things juicy and delicious, reheat the steak in a low oven (around 250°F) until just warmed through, or give slices a quick sear in a hot skillet. Warm the onions gently in a saucepan with a splash of broth, and re-crisp fries in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes—you’ll be amazed at how revived everything tastes!

FAQs

How do I know when my ribeye steak is done?

Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, and 145°F for medium. If you don’t have a thermometer, use the finger test or simply let the steak rest—the juices should run clear but still be rosy pink inside.

Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?

Absolutely! New York strip, sirloin, or even filet mignon will work beautifully in your Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast, though they may vary slightly in cook time and richness.

What’s the secret to perfectly crispy oven fries?

Cut your fries evenly and don’t crowd the baking sheet; this is the key to crispiness. Flipping them halfway through baking helps too, and a sprinkle of paprika adds both flavor and color.

Can I prep the caramelized onions ahead of time?

Yes! The onions can be made a day or two in advance and refrigerated. Just reheat gently before assembling your Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast.

How do I prevent my steak from drying out while resting?

Tent the cooked steak loosely with foil while it rests, which keeps it warm but prevents it from steaming—preserving that crave-worthy seared crust.

Final Thoughts

There’s nothing quite like sitting down to a Tremendous Ribeye Steak with French Onions and French Fries Feast—classic flavors, utterly satisfying and guaranteed to win enthusiastic applause from your table. Give it a try, and let the cozy, steakhouse magic unfold in your own kitchen!
