RIB-EYE STEAK WITH VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• For the steak:
• Rub each steak on both sides with some of the olive oil and seasonings. Grill over high heat, turning just once, to desired doneness.
• For the onions:
• Put some of the chopped garlic, 2 tablespoons butter, and a teaspoon of seasoning on the cut side of each of 4 onion halves. Top each with the another half. Wrap each onion completely in aluminum foil, and bury in the hot coals for about 10 minutes, until quite soft. Move to the grates to finish cooking, another 5 minutes or so. The onions should be golden and soft to the point of falling apart.

RIB EYE STEAK WITH ONION BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to a high heat or light your outdoor grill.
• Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and smear both sides of the steaks with 1/2 stick of the butter.
• Grill the steaks until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side, and then remove from the heat and keep warm. (You can also saute them in a skillet over medium-high heat if you prefer.)
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and then saute the onions until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour in the cream, a dash of salt and pepper and the Worcestershire sauce. Let it bubble up, then add the blue cheese and stir together to melt, adding more pepper or Worcestershire sauce as you wish.
• Place the steaks on plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
• Take a bite. And the world at long last will make sense.

FRENCH DIP STEAK SANDWICHES WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE

• Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Taste and season with pepper and more salt if needed. Strain the mixture and discard the onions (if there were any in the soup.) Cover and keep warm.
• For the steak: Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan if needed. Season the steak with salt and lots of black pepper. Grill the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the steak rest, then thinly slice.

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE WITH FRENCH ONION CONFIT

Steps:

• For the onion confit: Heat a large enameled cast-iron pot over medium heat. Add the butter; when it begins to foam, add the red onions, marjoram, thyme, bay leaves and sugar, and sprinkle liberally with salt. When the onions begin to caramelize, add the red wine and balsamic vinegar and reduce to dry. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 cup of the beef stock; cook until reduced to a glaze. Repeat until all the beef stock has been used. Turn off the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• For the rib-eye: Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat; add the oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. When the oil is just below smoking, place the steak into the pan. Once a nice sear has developed, flip the steak and add the butter, thyme and garlic. If the garlic or steak begins to burn, reduce the heat. Cook, basting the steak with the bubbling butter, until an internal temperature of 125 degrees F has been reached for medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 7 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the French onion confit.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with room temperature water and season liberally with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender. Drain the potatoes, saving 1/2 cup of the cooking water for thinning out if needed.

If the potatoes get too thick, thin them out with a little of the cooking water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve garnished with chives and a drizzle of olive oil.
