Steak with Beer Caramelized Onions Recipe

Make the onion jam: in a large sauté pan over low heat, heat olive oil. Add onions; stir to mix. Cook until just beginning to brown at the edges, stirring occasionally to prevent excessive browning. Gradually add beer then the water by the 1/4 cup whenever onions begin to dry, stirring in between each addition.

Cook until onions have softened and browned, about 20 minutes. Season with sugar, salt, and ground black pepper to taste. Serve with steak.

Open the windows. cover or point the fans toward your smoke alarm. turn on the range hood to High. (it will get smoky.)

Generously season your chosen steak with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.

Heat a medium pan over high heat. once hot, add oil. swirl to coat bottom of pan evenly. lay steak on the hot pan.

Let sear for 1 minute. Check doneness. continue cooking until desired doneness is reached. Flip. add 2 tbsp. butter and herbs, basting as desired. cook until preferred doneness is achieved. remove from heat onto a plate. top with remaining butter, if desired.

Let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. serve while warm.
