Rosemary Garlic Steak with Caramelized Onions

This is a great straightforward way to prepare steak: sure to please and easy to make.





Recipe:

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup rosemary, minced (also good split with parsley)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• Generous amounts of salt and pepper
• A dash of paprika or chili powder if you're up for it

1. At the very least, coat the steak in the above ingredients before putting it in the pan. Ideally, let them all hang out together and marinate for as long as you can allow.

2. Sear on both sides over high heat, allowing each side to visibly cook

3. Turn down to medium to cook meat to your desired temperature.
At this time, add sliced red onions to allow to caramelize until the meat is finished cooking.

*I often place the top of a pan over the steak in the skillet while it's cooking to lock in moisture and flavors during any of these stages. This helps to keep your meat from becoming dry or rubbery as well.

This kind of steak is excellent with dijon mustard, which can be incorporated into the marinade (read my whole post about it here, especially the Garlic Aioli Dijon Mustard from Trader Joe's) or as a side condiment for dipping.

If serving this steak over a salad, then turn the dijon mustard into a dressing by adding balsamic vinegar and chopped rosemary until the desired viscosity is achieved.
