Instructions

  1. Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Slice the onions into thin rounds.
  2. Melt half the butter with the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and let them colour gently for 15 minutes, stirring, until golden and soft.
  3. Add the chopped garlic and vinegar, let it reduce for 2 minutes, then set the onions aside to keep warm.
  4. In the same pan, heat it well and sear the salted and peppered steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  5. Add the rest of the butter at the end and baste the steaks with the foaming butter.
  6. Plate the steaks, top with the onions and their juices, dust with paprika and serve immediately.

Variations and tips

Grilled version. Grill the steaks on a plancha or barbecue and serve the caramelised onions on the side.
