This is my absolute favorite easy summer recipe my aunt recently shared with me - it tastes like you're biting into French onion soup! It became my favorite after only one taste. If you're having a barbecue, it's easy to make a lot of these in no time at all.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 whole sweet onions (such as Vidalia®)
6 beef bouillon cubes
6 ice cubes
6 tablespoons butter, divided
6 12x12-inch squares aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
  • Peel brown outer layers from an onion. Using a sharp knife, cut a cone-shaped core from the top of the onion, about 2/3 of the way into the vegetable. The core should be about 1 1/2 inches wide at the top. Insert a bouillon cube into the hollowed-out space, followed by an ice cube (for more moisture, if desired). Top the ice cube with 1 tablespoon of butter. Wrap the filled onion in a sheet of aluminum foil, leaving a small vent at the top. Repeat with the rest of the onions and filling ingredients.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bone-in rib-eye steaks, each about 2 pounds and 1 1/2 inches thick
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, plus sprigs for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Safflower oil, for brushing
2 sweet onions, such as Walla Walla or Vidalia (2 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Sprinkle steaks with rosemary and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Let stand 1 hour.

With tongs, sear steaks on edges until lightly charred, about 1 minute each. Transfer to a cutting board; let stand 10 minutes.
