Method
 

Preparation of Potatoes
  1. Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and return to the pot.
Making Mashed Potatoes
  1. Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper; taste as you go.
Caramelizing Onions

  2. Sprinkle with brown sugar and a pinch of salt halfway through.
Cooking the Steaks
  1. Season ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in another skillet over high heat.
  2. Cook steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest before serving.
Serving
  1. Serve ribeye topped with caramelized onions alongside a scoop of buttery mashed potatoes.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for perfect steak doneness. Let it rest after cooking. Be patient with the onions for best results.
