Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ribeye steaks, 1 sliced onion, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Take the ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
- While the steaks are resting, slice the onion into thin rings. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the ribeye steaks in the skillet. Season each steak generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them. This will help create a nice crust.
- Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time if you prefer your steak more or less done.
- While the steaks are cooking, add the sliced onions to the skillet around the steaks. Stir the onions occasionally to ensure they caramelize evenly.
- Once the steaks reach your desired doneness, remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Continue to sauté the onions in the skillet for another 2-3 minutes until they are soft and golden brown.
- After the resting period, slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and serve them on plates with the caramelized onions on top.
- Enjoy your Quick Skillet Steak with Onions alongside your favorite sides!
Tips
- Room Temperature Magic: Always let your steaks sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking. This ensures even heat distribution and a more consistent cook.
- Hot Pan, Happy Pan: Make sure your skillet is properly heated before adding the steaks. A medium-high heat creates that perfect crispy exterior.
- Don't Overcrowd: Cook steaks in a single layer without overcrowding to achieve a beautiful sear.
- Seasoning Secrets: Be generous with salt and pepper, and apply seasonings just before cooking for maximum flavor absorption.
- The Resting Rule: Always let your steak rest after cooking. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful bite.
- Slice Against the Grain: When serving, slice the steak against the grain to maximize tenderness and make each bite more enjoyable.
