– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup dry red wine
– 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Pat the T-bone steak completely dry with paper towels on all sides.
2. Season the steak generously on all sides with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. While the steak rests, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the thinly sliced yellow onions to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the onions for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until they are soft and a deep golden brown.
6. Stir the minced garlic into the caramelized onions and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Pour the dry red wine into the skillet with the onions, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits, and cook for 2 minutes until the wine is mostly evaporated.
8. Stir the unsalted butter into the onion mixture until melted, then transfer the entire mixture to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
9. Wipe the cast-iron skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
10. Carefully place the seasoned T-bone steak in the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes to form a dark brown crust.
11. Flip the steak using tongs and cook for another 4 minutes on the second side.
12. Use tongs to hold the steak upright and sear the fat cap around the edge for 1 minute.
13. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding the bone, and cook until it reads 130°F for medium-rare.
14. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
15. Top the sliced steak with the warm caramelized onion mixture. Getting that perfect sear on a thick steak is all about starting with a dry surface and a screaming hot pan. Letting the steak rest is non-negotiable for juicy results, and don’t rush the onions—low and slow is the key to true caramelization. Generous seasoning is your best friend here, so don’t be shy with that salt and pepper. Great alongside crispy roasted potatoes, the buttery onions melt into the juicy, medium-rare steak for an incredible texture contrast. For a fun twist, slice the steak off the bone and serve it on toasted garlic bread for the ultimate steak sandwich.
