Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Gorgonzola butter
2 heads of garlic, top 3/4 inch cut off to expose cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 2 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Onion rings
3 cups buttermilk
2 sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla), thinly sliced into rounds, then separated into rings
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3 tablespoons onion powder
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
4 cups canola oil (for frying)
Steaks
6 10- to 12-ounce rib-eye steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For gorgonzola butter:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic on piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic cloves out from papery skins into medium bowl; mash garlic with fork. Mix in butter, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer Gorgonzola butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 1 1/4-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around butter. Chill until firm. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.) Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
  • For onion rings:
  • Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add onion rings; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another large bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working with a few onion rings at a time, shake off excess buttermilk, then turn onion rings in flour mixture to coat. Fry onion rings until deep golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary for each batch to maintain temperature at 350°F, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain, then place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven while frying remaining onion rings.
  • For steaks:
  • Brush steaks with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with Gorgonzola butter and onion rings.

Tips:

  • Chill the Dough: Before rolling out the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will help prevent the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: When cutting the dough into rings, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When frying the butter rings, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
