Perfectly Cooked Steak with Onion and Mushroom Topping

This recipe features tender steak topped with caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms, creating a delightful balance of flavors. The cooking process takes about 30 minutes and serves 2 people.

Ingredients

• 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work well)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
• 1/4 cup red wine or beef broth (optional for deglazing)
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream or mustard (optional for added richness)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak: Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Cook the Onions: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown (about 15-20 minutes). If using, add minced garlic in the last few minutes of cooking.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they are browned and tender (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. If desired, deglaze the pan with red wine or beef broth, scraping up any browned bits.
4. Cook the Steak: In a separate skillet or grill, heat the remaining tablespoon of butter over high heat. Add the seasoned steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
5. Combine and Serve: Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. Top each steak with the onion and mushroom mixture. For an extra touch, stir in heavy cream or mustard into the mushroom mixture before serving.
6. Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle fresh thyme or parsley on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve with your choice of sides.
