Perfect Ribeye Steak with Onions and Fries

—

### Step-by-Step Instructions:

#### 🔥 1. Prep the Steak

Take the steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

#### 🍟 2. Make the Fries

1. Peel and slice potatoes into thin sticks.
2. Soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3. Drain, dry thoroughly, toss with a bit of cornstarch, and fry in hot oil (350°F/175°C) until golden. For extra crispiness, fry twice — once to cook through, and again to crisp up.
4. Season with salt immediately after frying.

#### 🧅 3. Caramelize the Onions

1. In a skillet over medium-low heat, add butter and onions.
2. Stir occasionally for 15–20 minutes until golden and soft.
3. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end, if desired, for sweetness and tang.

#### 🥩 4. Cook the Ribeye

1. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot.
2. Add oil, then the steak. Sear 2–3 minutes per side until a crust forms.
3. Add butter, garlic, and herbs. Baste the steak with the melted butter for another 1–2 minutes per side.
4. Remove from heat when internal temp hits 130°F (for medium-rare).
5. Rest the steak for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
