🥩 Ribeye Steak with Caramelized Onions and Mashed Potatoes – the ultimate comfort dinner! 🍽️🥔

Ingredients:
– 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 large onion, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:
1. Caramelize the Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar and balsamic vinegar, and cook for an additional 10 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: In a pot, cover cubed potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
3. Add heavy cream, butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
4. Cook the Steaks: Season ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust to your preferred doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
5. Serve the ribeye steaks topped with caramelized onions, alongside creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
