Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 1 ribeye steak (8-10 oz)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (for garnish)
- 1 head garlic
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Roast the Garlic
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and place on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes until the garlic is soft and golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Caramelize the Onions
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium-low heat.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until they turn deep golden brown and glossy. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Grill the Steak
- Pat the ribeye steak dry and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat until very hot.
- Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare doneness (internal temperature of ~135°F / 57°C). Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
4. Assemble and Serve
- On a stylish black slate board with wooden edges, spread a layer of caramelized onions.
- Place the rested ribeye steak on top of the onions.
- Garnish with a roasted garlic clove and a fresh rosemary sprig for an elegant touch.
- Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
Tips for Success
- Choose a quality ribeye: Look for a well-marbled steak for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Don’t skip the rest: Letting the steak rest after grilling ensures it stays juicy.
- Make it your own: Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for extra flair.
