This recipe combines the rich flavors of rib eye steak with caramelized onions and melted cheese for a delightful meal.
Slice the onions thinly.
Use a sharp knife to ensure even slices for consistent caramelization.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; keep the heat moderate.
Add the onions and sugar to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown.
Stir often to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine.
This step helps thicken the mixture for a rich texture.
Pour in the beef broth and milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
Keep stirring to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Stir in the Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor.
Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic flakes.
Pat the seasonings onto the meat to help them adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides until browned.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the steaks for a good sear.
Transfer the steaks to an oven-safe plate and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F until desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for accuracy.
Top the steaks with the caramelized onion mixture and shredded Swiss cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Keep an eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Serve the steaks with the caramelized onion topping and spoon the pan juices around the meat.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.
