Ingredients
  

For the Steaks
  • 2 pieces Steaks (Strip Loin, Rib Eye, Prime Rib, etc.) Choose your preferred cut for a juicy flavor; look for good marbling.
  • 1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning Adds a robust flavor; or simply use salt and pepper for seasoning.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Oil Use vegetable or olive oil for cooking.
For the Balsamic Onions
  • 1 medium Onion Thinly sliced, caramelized to bring sweetness and depth.
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar Offers acidity and sweetness; red wine vinegar works as a delicious substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce Optional but enhances the umami of the onions beautifully.
For the Goat Cheese Butter
  • ¼ cup Roasted Garlic and Porcini Mushroom Goat Cheese Butter Adds rich creaminess.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • tongs
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Caramelizing the Onions and Steaks
  1. In a medium skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become tender and golden brown. Pour in balsamic vinegar and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, sautéing for an additional minute.
  2. While the onions are caramelizing, pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with Montreal steak seasoning or salt and pepper. Set the steaks aside.
  3. Clean the skillet and return it to medium-high heat, adding another tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the seasoned steaks in the hot pan. Sear each steak for about 2-4 minutes on the first side.
  4. After flipping, continue to cook the steaks for an additional 2-4 minutes based on your desired doneness—aim for 135°F for medium-rare. Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  5. To serve, place a steak on each plate and generously top with the balsamic caramelized onions. Finish with a pat of goat cheese butter.
