Okay, let’s talk sauce.

There is just something so transcendent about roasted onions that are then caramelized. The onions’ natural sweetness is brought in such a delicious way and then cooked down to perfection. Roast them in the oven, and then once they’ve cooled enough to handle, pull off the skins and roughly slice.

I just love the way it makes the house smell as they are roasting.

Now, add the roasted sweet onions into a large pot (a Dutch oven works perfectly) where you’ve cooked up some chopped pancetta.

Things are about to get crazy good.

Brace yourself!

Okay, let’s get back to the steak, shall we? We love ribeye, but a nice strip steak, or even filet mignon, would work nicely here.

And of course, you can fire up your grill and cook to your own liking. Or, you can get a cast iron skillet piping hot and sear them in your kitchen. I love using my grill pan (see link below to easily order one for yourself!).

    Thank you, I am eager to make this recipe. I am sulfite-sensitive, so I am wondering if I can substitute brandy/cognac for the sherry? Your blog is such a delight! Thank you sharing your fabulousness with me!

    • Hi Susan!! Thank you so much! Oh, absolutely. Either brandy or cognac would be fantastic. Actually, you’ve got me thinking…maybe that would be even better than the sherry! It will stand up beautifully to the sauce and the beef. Let us know how it turns out and we’re so happy you found us!! Please stay in touch!! Best, Kris & Wesley
