Rib Eye Steaks With French Fried Onions Recipes

Steps:

• For the onion confit: Heat a large enameled cast-iron pot over medium heat. Add the butter; when it begins to foam, add the red onions, marjoram, thyme, bay leaves and sugar, and sprinkle liberally with salt. When the onions begin to caramelize, add the red wine and balsamic vinegar and reduce to dry. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of the beef stock; cook until reduced to a glaze. Repeat until all the beef stock has been used. Turn off the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• For the rib-eye: Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat; add the oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. When the oil is just below smoking, place the steak into the pan. Once a nice sear has developed, flip the steak and add the butter, thyme and garlic. If the garlic or steak begins to burn, reduce the heat. Cook, basting the steak with the bubbling butter, until an internal temperature of 125 degrees F has been reached for medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 7 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the French onion confit.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with room temperature water and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender. Drain the potatoes, saving 1/2 cup of the cooking water for thinning out if needed.
• Pass the potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add the butter and heavy cream, and fold together with a spatula until combined. Fold in the shredded cheese. If the potatoes get too thick, thin them out with a little of the cooking water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with chives and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place rack in shallow broiler pan. Coat rack with cooking spray.
• Combine garlic, rosemary, salt, and 1/4 t. pepper. Rub both sides of steaks with spice mixture. Combine canned onions, parsley, oil and remaining pepper; reserve.
• Place steaks on rack. Roast, turning oncee, 9 minutes per side for medium-rare. During the last 2 m inutes of roasting, top each steak with onion mixture.
• (If making with Oven-Fried Sweet Potato Wedges, put the steaks in the oven about 7 minutes after the potatoes, so they're ready at the same time.).

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
• Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
• Add the bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
• To serve, cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top with the onions.

Steps:

• For the steak:
• Rub each steak on both sides with some of the olive oil and seasonings. Grill over high heat, turning just once, to desired doneness.
• For the onions:
• Put some of the chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons butter, and a teaspoon of seasoning on the cut side of each of 4 onion halves. Top each with the another half. Wrap each onion completely in aluminum foil, and bury in the hot coals for about 10 minutes, until quite soft. Move to the grates to finish cooking, another 5 minutes or so. The onions should be golden and soft to the point of falling apart.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are dark and soft, about 25 minutes.
• Mix butter, shallot, and truffle oil in a bowl until blended. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook steaks until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake until steaks are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 4 to 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Let rest in the skillet, covered, about 5 minutes.
• Slice steaks and transfer to serving plates. Cover with onions; top with a slice of truffle butter.

Steps:

• For French Onions: In a 10-inch frying pan, combine onion, butter and sugar.
• Stir often over medium-high heat until onion is lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
• Add flour and mix well.
• Stir in beef broth and milk.
• Stir over high heat until boiling.
• Continue to boil, stirring constantly, until liquid is almost evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese and shredded Parmesan Cheese.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. (Makes about 1 cup).
• Rinse steak and pat dry.
• Pat salt, pepper and garlic flakes evenly onto meat.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Pour oil in 10-inch non-stick pan and heat over high heat (tilt to cover bottom of pan with oil).
• When oil is hot, add steak and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes total.
• Supporting meat with tongs, tip steak onto its edge and rotate to brown lightly, about 2 minutes total.
• As fat accumulates in pan, wipe it out with paper towels.
• Put steak on oven-safe plate and bake in 400°F oven until meat is done to your liking, 8 to 12 minutes for rare or about 20 minutes for well done.
• Remove plate from oven.
• Turn oven heat to broil.
• Remove fat from plate with a paper towel.
• Mound French onions on meat and sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese.
• Broil in pan about 6 inches from heat until cheese bubbles and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and pour broth around meat, stirring to release browned bits.
• To serve, cut meat and onions into 4 equal portions.
• Transfer to individual plates and spoon juices around meat.

Steps:

• Sprinkle steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat butter and oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add steak; sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove steak; drain all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Stir in onions and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Boil until wine is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
• Cut steak from the bones and chop into 1-inch pieces; transfer to the pot. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until beef is very tender, about 3 hours. Add water as needed to keep onions and beef covered.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange bread on a small baking sheet.
• Bake bread in the preheated oven until toasted, about 6 minutes.
• Stir mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl.
• Remove and discard bones and thyme sprigs from the pot. Skim off any excess fat. Stir in remaining salt and pepper.
• Set an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Divide soup among 4 oven-proof bowls or mugs; arrange on a large foil-lined baking sheet. Top each bowl with toast and cheeses.
• Broil soups until cheese is browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Steps:

• Up to 8 hrs before cooking, pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over a high flame in a heavy-based frying pan that will comfortably fit both steaks. When the oil is shimmering, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the butter. Once it's sizzling, carefully lay the steaks in the pan, tucking the garlic and herbs in at the sides.
• Stand over the steaks with a pair of tongs, searing and turning them every 30 seconds to 1 min so they get a nice brown crust. As a rough guide, each steak will take 4 mins in total for rare, 5-6 mins in total for medium and 8-10 mins for well done. If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the temperatures you're looking for in middle of the steak are 50C for rare, 60C for medium and 70C for well done. Leave the steaks to rest for at least 5 mins. While the steaks are resting, you can make a classic red wine sauce to go with them.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except steak and onions.
• Place steak in plastic zip lock bag and pour marinade over.
• Marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight-- turning the bag and smushing the herbs into the meat.
• Pour excess marinade into skillet; add onions and cook until tender while grilling steaks.
