Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Ribeye steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 piece Medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Grill or Cast-Iron Skillet

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, combine the caramelized onions with the remaining butter, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Form the butter into a log shape using parchment paper and refrigerate until firm.
  4. Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped sage, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub the garlic-sage mixture generously over both sides of the ribeye steaks.
  6. Place the ribeye steaks on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired doneness.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  8. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
  9. Slice the compound butter into rounds and place on top of the warm ribeye steaks. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a variation, try adding a dash of red pepper flakes to the garlic-sage mixture for a spicy kick.
