Caramelized Onion Steak

Caramelized Onion Steak

Ingredients:

• 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks, about 1-inch thick
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs for garnish (such as chives or parsley)

Instructions:

1. Caramelize the Onions:
   • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
   • Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
2. Prepare the Steaks:
   • Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Cook the Steaks:
   • Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
   • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (65°C) for well-done.
   • Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
4. Assemble the Dish:
   • Top the cooked steaks with the caramelized onions.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs, such as chopped chives or parsley.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve the steaks hot with your favorite side dishes.
