Grilled Steak with Caramelized Onions and Herb Fries

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Fries:

• 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (for dipping)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and dill)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fries:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
• While the fries are baking, mix the mayonnaise with the fresh herbs in a small bowl and set aside for dipping.

2. Prepare the Steak:

• Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the steaks with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

3. Caramelize the Onions:

• In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
• Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are fully coated and the vinegar has reduced.

4. Serve:

• Place the steaks on a serving plate and top with the caramelized onions.
• Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
• Serve the steaks alongside the herb fries with the herb mayonnaise for dipping.
