Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steaks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.25 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Allow them to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prepare the onions and mushrooms.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt. Stir in the thinly sliced yellow onions and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown. Sprinkle with brown sugar halfway through to enhance the caramelization.
Add the garlic and thyme to the onions, cooking for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until browned and tender. Remove the mushrooms and set aside with the onions.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and sear the ribeye steaks for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest, loosely covered with foil.
Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle the flour into the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and dry white wine (if using). Simmer for 3–5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Return the caramelized onions and mushrooms to the skillet, stirring them into the sauce. Allow them to warm through for 1–2 minutes.
Plate the ribeye steaks and spoon the onion and mushroom mixture along with the sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
