Ingredients:
For the Steak:
2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
For the Caramelized Onions:
large onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to enhance sweetness)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for a touch of acidity)
Instructions:
Prepare the Caramelized Onions:
Sauté the Onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown.
Add Sugar and Balsamic Vinegar: If desired, add the sugar and balsamic vinegar to the onions, stirring to combine. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the onions are deeply caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Steak:
Season the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sear the Steaks: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
Add Butter and Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, minced garlic, and fresh thyme or rosemary (if using). Baste the steaks with the melted butter for an additional minute.
Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
Serve:
Plate the Dish: Serve the steaks hot, topped with a generous portion of caramelized onions.
Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy this rich, flavorful, and classic Steak and Onions dish.
Enjoy this savory, tender, and utterly satisfying Classic Steak and Onions, perfect for any occasion!
