French Onion Rib Eye Steaks Recipes

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:

• Sprinkle steaks with thyme, pepper and garlic powder. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown steaks in 1 teaspoon butter on both sides. Remove and keep warm. , In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in remaining butter until tender. Reduce heat to medium. Add wine or broth to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits; cook for 2-3 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Add consomme and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes., Return steaks to the pan. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Serve with toasted French bread.

Steps:

• Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sliced garlic and rosemary and set aside to marinate, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook at a brisk simmer until just done, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over high heat. Remove and discard sliced garlic from steak. (If left on, it will burn in the skillet.)
• When pan is hot, put in the steak and let brown well on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Wait until steak forms a crust and comes away cleanly from the bottom to move it.
• Flip steak and transfer pan to oven, uncovered. Roast until juices begin to rise on surface of steak (you will see the droplets) and internal temperature is 120 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove steak from pan and let rest, tented with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes. (Residual heat will continue to cook the meat to medium-rare as it rests.) Warm a serving bowl for the potatoes and plates for the steak.
• Melt butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and toss to coat and heat through. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 minute or less. Gently stir in parsley and lemon zest and transfer to serving bowl.
• Cutting on a slight diagonal, slice steak into 1/2-inch slices, then transfer to plates. If using, place a handful of greens next to the steak. Serve immediately, passing potatoes at the table.

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:

• 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:

• 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 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.).
