Rib-Eye Steaks with Gorgonzola Butter and Crispy Sweet Onion Rings image

Categories     Onion     Fry     Sauté     Dinner     Blue Cheese     Steak     Butter     Bon Appétit     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Gorgonzola butter
2 heads of garlic, top 3/4 inch cut off to expose cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 2 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Onion rings
3 cups buttermilk
2 sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla), thinly sliced into rounds, then separated into rings
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3 tablespoons onion powder
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
4 cups canola oil (for frying)
Steaks
6 10- to 12-ounce rib-eye steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For gorgonzola butter:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic on piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic cloves out from papery skins into medium bowl; mash garlic with fork. Mix in butter, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer Gorgonzola butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 1 1/4-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around butter. Chill until firm. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.) Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
  • For onion rings:
  • Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add onion rings; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another large bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working with a few onion rings at a time, shake off excess buttermilk, then turn onion rings in flour mixture to coat. Fry onion rings until deep golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary for each batch to maintain temperature at 350°F, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain, then place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven while frying remaining onion rings.
  • For steaks:
  • Brush steaks with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with Gorgonzola butter and onion rings.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and flavorful sweet onions. Look for onions that are firm and have no signs of bruising or sprouting. The sweeter the onions, the better the pasta will taste.
  • Use high-quality gorgonzola cheese. Look for gorgonzola that is creamy and has a strong, pungent flavor. Avoid using pre-packaged or shredded gorgonzola, as it will not melt as well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold the sauce as well.
  • Sauté the onions until they are caramelized. This will bring out their sweetness and flavor. Be patient and cook the onions over low heat until they are golden brown.
  • Use a combination of heavy cream and milk. This will create a creamy and flavorful sauce. You can adjust the ratio of cream to milk depending on your desired consistency.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg until the sauce is flavorful. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Pasta with gorgonzola and sweet onion is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of creamy gorgonzola, caramelized onions, and sweet peas is sure to please everyone at the table. This pasta is also a great way to use up leftover gorgonzola cheese. So next time you have some gorgonzola on hand, give this recipe a try!
