Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steak (or steak of choice)
- 2 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 pieces fresh garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking. This helps ensure even cooking.
Thinly slice the onions and set them aside. Crush the garlic cloves and set them aside as well.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. If desired, brush with a teaspoon of soy sauce for added umami flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the skillet and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, rosemary sprigs, and crushed garlic to the pan during the last minute of cooking, and baste the steaks with the melted butter using a spoon.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate. Tent loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-7 minutes.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are soft and golden brown.
Serve the steaks topped with the caramelized onions. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of rosemary for presentation. Enjoy your meal!
