A simple and satisfying recipe for tender ribeye steaks cooked on a Blackstone griddle with sweet, buttery caramelized onions. Perfect for a quick, flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 10 oz / 280 g each), 1 to 1.5 inches thick
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • 1/4 cup beef broth or water (60 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C), about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the onions evenly.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the griddle and spread evenly. Add onions and stir to coat in butter. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Add beef broth or water if onions stick or dry out. Add minced garlic in the last 5 minutes. Onions should be golden brown and sweet-smelling.
  4. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle fresh thyme or rosemary if using.
  5. Push onions to one side of the griddle. Add olive oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the clear space. Place steaks on hot surface and sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once with tongs. Avoid pressing down.
  6. Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium. Adjust cooking time if needed.
  7. Remove steaks from griddle and let rest for 5-7 minutes to redistribute juices.
  8. Serve steaks topped with sweet caramelized onions. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired.

Notes

Keep an eye on the onions to avoid burning; stir frequently and add broth or water if they stick. Rest steaks after cooking to retain juices. Use a thermometer for perfect doneness. Can substitute cast iron skillet if no griddle is available.
