Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
- Season the beef fillet steaks with a dash of black pepper on each side.
- In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt and sizzle.
- Increase the heat to high, add the steaks to the pan, and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the time according to your preferred level of doneness. Cook in batches if necessary, adding more butter as needed.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the minced garlic and remaining butter to the pan. Allow the butter to melt and the garlic to become fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Return the caramelized onions to the pan, distributing them around and over the steaks. Spoon some of the garlic butter over the steaks to coat them.
- Remove the steaks and onions from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Plate the steaks with a generous topping of the caramelized onions, drizzled with the garlic butter sauce from the pan.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Beef: Opt for a high-quality beef fillet to ensure tenderness and flavor. Look for well-marbled meat as it will stay juicy and flavorful when cooked.
- Preparing the Steak: Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.
- Using Garlic Butter: Melt the butter slowly and add minced garlic just before cooking the steak to infuse the butter with garlic without burning it.
- Cooking the Steak: Use a hot pan and only turn the steak once to develop a nice crust. Cook to your preferred level of doneness: 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 5-6 minutes for medium.
- Caramelizing Onions: Cook the onions in the same pan after the steak for maximum flavor, deglazing the pan with a little bit of beef broth or wine if desired.
- Resting the Steak: Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
