Ingredients
- 2 ribeye steaks
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ribeye steaks, 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, 1 sliced onion, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme for garnish.
- Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the mushrooms and onions. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them. Peel and slice the onion into thin rings.
- Season both sides of the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper. This enhances the flavor of the meat.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the ribeye steaks in the skillet. Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a nice crust to form.
- After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer for precision; 130°F (54°C) is ideal for medium-rare.
- Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare the mushrooms and onions.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent and the mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Season the sautéed mushrooms and onions with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
- To serve, place each ribeye steak on a plate and top generously with the sautéed mushrooms and onions. Garnish with fresh thyme for added flavor and a pop of color.
- Enjoy your delicious steak with mushrooms and onions, paired with your favorite side dishes!
Tips
- Always let your steaks come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness - 130°F is the sweet spot for medium-rare.
- Don't move the steak while searing to develop a perfect golden-brown crust.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender bite.
- Use a cast-iron skillet if possible for the best heat retention and most even cooking.
- Fresh thyme isn't just a garnish - it adds a subtle, aromatic flavor that complements the rich beef.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, but don't be afraid to experiment with other herbs and spices.
- Clean your mushrooms with a damp cloth instead of washing to prevent them from becoming waterlogged.
