Ingredients

• 4 pieces (8-10 ounces each) ribeye steaks
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large, thinly sliced yellow onion
• 12 ounces, cleaned and sliced wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster)
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.33 cup dry white wine
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the ribeye steaks with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while prepping other ingredients.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired temperature. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside to rest under foil.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized.

Step 4

Add the wild mushrooms to the skillet with the onions and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve the steaks topped generously with the wild mushroom and onion mixture. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
