🥩 French Onion & Mushroom Ribeye Steaks
Ingredients:
-
2 ribeye steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
-
2 large onions, thinly sliced
-
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button work well)
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Optional: ¼ cup beef broth or dry white wine (for deglazing)
Instructions:
STEP 1: Prep the Steaks
-
Bring steaks to room temperature (about 30 minutes on the counter).
-
Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
STEP 2: Cook the Onions & Mushrooms
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp butter and olive oil.
-
Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized.
-
Add mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Cook another 5–7 minutes until mushrooms are soft.
-
Optional: Deglaze the pan with beef broth or wine. Stir and let it reduce slightly.
-
Transfer mixture to a plate and keep warm.
STEP 3: Sear the Steaks
-
In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp butter.
-
Sear the ribeyes for about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for thickness/preference).
-
Let the steaks rest for 5–10 minutes after cooking.
STEP 4: Serve
-
Plate the ribeyes and top generously with the caramelized onion-mushroom mixture.
-
Garnish with extra thyme or a drizzle of pan juices, if desired.
