Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 ribeye steaks
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 1 cup French onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, allowing it to heat thoroughly but not smoke.
- Season the steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry and season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Cook the steaks: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, aiming for medium-rare doneness. Adjust time as needed depending on thickness.
- Rest the steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Sauté mushrooms and onions: Using the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and French onions. Sauté over medium heat until the onions turn golden brown and the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble and serve: Spoon the caramelized onion and mushroom mixture over the rested ribeye steaks just before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Allowing the steak to rest after cooking is essential for juicy results.
- Use a cast-iron skillet if available for better heat retention and searing.
- Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness and preferred doneness.
- For more flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the onions and mushrooms while sautéing.
- Serve with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
