Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups canola oil, for frying
2 rib eye steaks, 1 1/2 in (3 cm)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Make the compound butter: In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, blue cheese, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until ready to use.
  • Make the fried onions: In a shallow bowl, combine the onions and buttermilk and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dip the buttermilk-coated onions into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Fill a large skillet with high sides with the canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Once the oil is hot, add the onions in batches and fry for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the onions to a wire rack to drain and season with salt.
  • Generously season the steaks all over with salt and pepper.
  • Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel pan over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks and cook, without disturbing, until a brown crust forms, about 7 minutes. Flip the steaks and continue to cook for 7 minutes more, until the steak is browned on both sides. Sear the sides of the steak to render any fat. Add the butter and thyme to the pan. Tilt the pan toward you and baste the steaks with the melted butter for 2 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (60°C) for medium rare.
  • Serve the steak with the crispy onions and blue cheese compound butter.
  • Enjoy!

Paula Deen's Caramelized Vidalia Onion and Blue Cheese Hot Dip image

This is a quick and easy dip to make that everyone seems to love. I used panko bread crumbs because that is what I had in my pantry. I also found that you needed to cut the onion pieces into smaller strips (I took the onion and cut it in half and then half again). I also used Clemson Blue Cheese.

BLUE CHEESE, BALSAMIC ONION MARMALADE AND WALNUT FOCACCIA



Blue Cheese, Balsamic Onion Marmalade and Walnut Focaccia image

Provided by Peter Reinhart

Categories     side-dish

Time 19h10m

Yield Makes 1 sheet pan or 2 to 3 round focaccia

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, plus more for dimpling
White Flour Master Dough, recipe follows
1 3/4 cups walnuts or pecans, very coarsely chopped
2 cups Caramelized Balsamic Onion Marmalade, recipe follows
1 cup coarsely crumbled firm blue cheese
4 1/3 cup (567 grams) unbleached bread flour
1 3/4 (11 grams) teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/4 (4 grams) teaspoons instant yeast
2 cups (454 grams) water, cool (about 60 degrees F)
2 tablespoons (28 grams) olive oil, plus more for oiling the pan and dough
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
4 large yellow or white onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Five hours before baking the focaccia, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and oil the bottom and interior sides with the 3 tablespoons olive oil. Begin panning and dimpling the dough, at 20-minute intervals, dipping your fingers in olive oil to keep them from sticking to the dough as you work. After three to four rounds of dimpling and resting, the dough will have relaxed enough to cover the whole pan. At this point, rub the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil over the dough and cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap. Then allow 4 hours for the final rise.
  • When the dough reaches the rim of the pan, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (425 degrees F for convection). Carefully peel off the plastic wrap and top the dough with the walnuts, pressing them into the dough. Spread the onion marmalade over the dough. Then top with the blue cheese, spacing the crumbles evenly so that every piece of the focaccia will include a pocket of blue cheese as well as walnuts and onions.
  • Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 8 minutes. Then rotate the pan 180 degrees and bake 10 to 12 minutes longer, or until the edge of the focaccia is golden brown and the dough is springy when poked in the center. The undercrust of the focaccia as well as the onions should be caramelized to a golden brown.
  • Transfer the baked focaccia to the stovetop or to a heatproof counter. Using an offset spatula or bench blade, carefully slide it around the edge, between the crust and the side of the pan, and then lift the focaccia out of the pan and slide it onto a cutting board. If the parchment paper or baking mat is still clinging to the focaccia, remove it. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 3- or 4-inch squares and serve.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and yeast. Add all of the water and mix on slow speed for 30 seconds or stir with a large spoon to form a coarse, shaggy dough. Add the 2 tablespoons of oil, increase the speed to medium (or continue mixing with the spoon or with wet hands), and mix for another 30 to 60 seconds to make a wet, coarse, sticky dough. It may seem too wet to form a cohesive dough at this stage. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to fully hydrate.
  • Increase the mixer speed to medium-high (or continue mixing by hand) and mix for another 30 to 60 seconds to make a smooth, sticky dough. It should be soft, supple and sticky to the touch, and offer a little resistance when pressed with a wet finger.
  • Use 1 teaspoon of the extra oil to make a 15-inch-diameter oil slick on the work surface. Rub some oil on a plastic bowl scraper and on your hands and use the scraper to transfer the dough to the oil slick. Stretch and fold the dough. Cover the dough with a bowl and let it rest for 2 to 5 minutes. Repeat the stretch and fold (rub more oil on the work surface as needed), cover the dough, and let it rest for 2 to 5 minutes. Then repeat the stretch and fold, cover with the bowl, and again let it rest for 2 to 5 minutes. Perform a fourth and final stretch and fold to make a smooth ball of dough. The dough will have firmed up after each stretch and fold and will now be soft, smooth, supple, and somewhat sticky but firm enough to hold together when lifted. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 12 to 72 hours.
  • In a large frying pan or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions, lower the heat to medium-low, and saute, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent. Do not cook over high heat, as the outside of the onions will char before the interior has softened and sweetened. Continue stirring for another few minutes, until the onions have softened and begin to turn a light amber color. Add the sugar and continue stirring until the sugar melts and begins to bubble. Clear a space in the center of the pan, pour the balsamic vinegar directly into the hot pan, and then stir the onions into the vinegar. Continue stirring for 1 to 2 minutes, until all the onions are coated, and then remove the pan from the heat.
  • In a mesh strainer set over a clean saucepan, strain the onions, pressing them with a large spoon to release their juice, and wait a few minutes until they stop dripping. Return the strained onions to the saucepan in which they were cooked and set them aside.
  • Bring the juice to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring continuously, until thickened. This should take only a few minutes, so don't leave the pan unattended. As soon as the juice thickens into a honeylike syrup, remove it from the heat, pour it all back over the onions, and stir with a rubber spatula until they are coated with the syrup. Stir in the salt and pepper and let the onions cool.
  • Transfer the mixture to a container, seal tightly, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or transfer to sandwich-size resealable freezer bags and freeze for up to 6 months. Defrost at room temperature before using.
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups.

VIDALIA ONION SOUP WITH WILD RICE AND MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE CROUTONS



Vidalia Onion Soup With Wild Rice and Maytag Blue Cheese Croutons image

Provided by David Kamp

Categories     weekday, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup wild rice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ½ pounds (about 4) Vidalia onions, or other sweet onions, quartered and very thinly sliced
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
3 tablespoons chopped basil
3 tablespoons chopped chives
4 tablespoons chopped tarragon
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt
pepper
8 slices baguette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces Maytag or other young, not too sharp, blue cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a wide, deep pot over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the onions, tossing them until wilted and well coated. Cook the onions, turning them with a spatula every 5 to 10 minutes, until soft and browned but not burned; this may take 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Add the stock and simmer for 20 minutes. Wrap the herbs in a small piece of cheesecloth and tie with kitchen string. Drop the bundle into the broth for 1 minute, then remove it. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush both sides of the baguette slices with oil. Bake on a baking sheet until light golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. While the croutons are still warm, spread them with blue cheese.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND SHIITAKE SOUP WITH GRUYERE-BLUE CHEESE



Caramelized Onion and Shiitake Soup With Gruyere-Blue Cheese image

From The Best of Cooking Light, March 2009. "Earthy shiitake mushrooms and pungent cheese toasts give this soup more heartiness than classic French onion soup. For a light main course option, pair with a simple green salad."

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use a ripe, flavorful onion. A sweet onion, such as a Vidalia or Walla Walla, will provide a milder flavor, while a yellow or red onion will offer a more pungent taste.
  • If you don't have any blue cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan. However, blue cheese will provide the most authentic flavor.
  • If you want a crispy crust on your tart, brush the edges of the pastry with an egg wash before baking.
  • To make sure the tart is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the tart is ready.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.
