For the Roasted Garlic and Onion:
- 1 whole head of garlic, halved crosswise
- 1 large sweet onion, thickly sliced into rings
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Herb Butter:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Roast Garlic and Onion
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drizzle the garlic head and onion slices with olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Wrap garlic in foil and place the onion rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast garlic for 30–35 minutes until golden and soft. Roast onions for 20–25 minutes until caramelized.
Step 2: Season and Sear the Steak
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time as needed). Use a thermometer to check for doneness.
Step 3: Baste with Garlic Herb Butter
- Reduce heat to low. Add butter, fresh herbs, roasted garlic cloves (squeezed from skin), and a few roasted onion slices.
- Spoon melted butter and aromatics over steaks continuously for 1–2 minutes.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
- Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve topped with extra roasted garlic and onions.
- Optional: drizzle with balsamic glaze or Worcestershire sauce for added depth.
Tips for Success
- Resting the steak is essential for juicy results.
- Use fresh rosemary or thyme for a fragrant finish.
- Add lemon zest to butter for a brighter flavor twist.
- Pair with mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or crusty bread.
Variations
- Swap ribeye for NY strip or filet mignon.
- Use compound garlic herb butter for more flavor.
- Serve over creamy polenta or garlic mashed potatoes.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet with a pat of butter.
