Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces rib eye steaks
- 3 medium yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 cup Gruyere cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the rib eye steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until they are deeply caramelized.
Add the minced garlic and thyme to the caramelized onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the onions. Cook for an additional minute.
Deglaze the pan by adding the dry white wine. Stir to scrape up any browned bits. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the beef broth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove the onion mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Sear the rib eye steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or further to your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the steaks on an oven-safe dish, spoon the onion mixture on top of each steak, and sprinkle evenly with Gruyere cheese.
Broil the steaks for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
