Cracked Pepper Rib-Eye Steak With Roasted Onion Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 medium sweet onion, cut into 8 wedges
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt, to taste
2/3 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon soy sauce
4 teaspoons cracked black pepper
4 (10 ounce) rib eye steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 10 oz. each)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0.
Place the onion wedges in a baking dish. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Stir to coat all the pieces evenly. Roast, uncovered, until browned and soft, about 1 hour. Remove and let stand until slightly cooled.
Put the onions in a blender or food processor; add the broth and soy sauce and blend to a smooth puree. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan, cover and set aside.
Preheat the broiler or prepare coals for grilling.
Press the cracked pepper onto both sides of each steak, using about 1 teaspoons of pepper for each steak. Broil or grill the steaks until seared and nicely browned on one side, about 4 minutes for medium-rare and 5 minutes for medium. Turn and cook 4 minutes more for both medium-rare and medium.
Reheat the onion sauce while the steaks are cooking. Spoon the warmed sauce over each steak and serve.
