PAN-ROASTED RIBEYE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND WHITE TRUFFLE BUTTER
This is a savory steak with the slight sweetness of caramelized onions and the earthiness of truffle oil. I would serve this with some mashed goat cheese and a nice green veggie. This recipe could be for 2, you and your honey! A nice Cabernet would pair well, but I like so many that it's hard to choose. Cheers.

Steps:
- Dough:.
- Dissolve yeast and honey in warm water in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes.
- Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Stir 1 cup bread flour and 1 tablespoon oil into yeast mixture. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°F), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until bubbly.
- Stir in 1/2 cup bread flour, whole wheat flour, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes); dough will feel tacky. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, for 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into the dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- Topping:.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, thyme sprigs, garlic, and bay leaves; cook for 15 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat. Discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
- Preheat broiler.
- While onion is cooking, cut bell peppers in half lengthwise, discarding seeds and membranes. Place the pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil for 15 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag, and seal. Let stand for 15 minutes. Peel and coarsely chop.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Roll the dough into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle. Place the dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Top with the onion mixture and the chopped bell pepper. Sprinkle with black pepper. Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped thyme. Cut into 8 squares, and cut each square in half diagonally. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.

Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until tender and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add peppers. Sauté 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, vinegar, and fennel seeds. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Whisk in rema ining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- Cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Return to pot. Add sauce and toss to coat. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Cheese: Use a high-quality, flavorful cheese that will hold its own against the strong flavors of the onions, peppers, and cinnamon. A sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Gouda are all good options.
- Caramelize the Onions Slowly: Don't rush the process of caramelizing the onions. Cook them over low heat until they are deeply browned and sweet, about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Roast the Peppers Until Blistered: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smokiness. Roast them until the skins are blackened and blistered, about 20 minutes.
- Use Fresh Cinnamon: Freshly ground cinnamon has a much more intense flavor than pre-ground cinnamon. If you don't have fresh cinnamon, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of pre-ground cinnamon.
- Serve Immediately: This cheese spread is best served immediately, while the onions and peppers are still warm and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Caramelized Onion Roasted Pepper and Cinnamon Cheese Spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables, or use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
