RIBEYE STEAK WITH FRENCH ONIONS AND FRENCH FRIES
Step 1: Prepare the French Fries
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1/4-inch thick fries.
Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Toss the fries with vegetable oil and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Season with salt and any optional seasonings.
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the fries and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 2: Prepare the French Onions
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Stir in the beef broth and white wine (if using). Continue to cook until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the fresh thyme and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
