🥩 Ingredients

  • 2 ribeye steaks
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish

🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Steaks:

Pat the ribeyes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.

2️⃣ Caramelize the Onions:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15–20 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Add sugar and balsamic vinegar in the last 5 minutes for that deep, French onion flavor. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms:

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Toss in the mushrooms and minced garlic, and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside with the onions.

4️⃣ Sear the Ribeye:

Crank the heat up to medium-high. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or to your preferred doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to keep all those juices in.

5️⃣ Assemble & Serve:

Top the rested steaks with the luscious caramelized onions and mushrooms. Garnish with fresh thyme or chopped parsley, and serve immediately for a restaurant-worthy plate.
