Creamy French Onion Steak Pasta - Easy Recipe

rigatoni

ribeye

onions

tbsp butter

olive oil

beef stock (240 milliliters)

double cream (or heavy cream, 120 milliliters)

thyme

Worcestershire Sauce

garlic (minced)

Salt and Pepper

75 g gruyere cheese (grated)

cheese

Start by slicing the onions. To thinly slice an onion, start by trimming off the stem end while keeping the root intact—this helps hold the layers together while slicing. Cut it in half from root to stem then peel off the outer layer of skin. Lay each half flat on the cutting board, then use a sharp knife to make thin slices.

Melt butter and olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add thinly sliced onions and a generous pinch of salt. Stir occasionally to ensure they don't stick too much to the bottom of the pan, letting them cook slowly for 30-40 minutes until they turn deep golden brown. If you’re short on time, a pinch of sugar can help speed up the process and add a slightly sweet flavor.

Increase the sauce to medium heat and stir in minced garlic, fresh thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Let it cook for a minute, then pour in the beef stock. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop. Lower the heat and stir in the double cream, seasoning the creamy sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

While the sauce simmers, cook the rigatoni in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining. While the pasta is cooking heat a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over high heat with a little oil. Once hot, add the ribeye steaks and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes per side.

Flip the steak and add a spoonful of butter. I love using garlic butter because it infuses the steak with extra flavor, to make your own mix a clove of garlic with a pinch of parsley and butter. Baste the steak with the butter for another minute, then remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing. I like to add the juices from the steak pan to the sauce.

Add the cooked pasta to the sauce along with grated Gruyère and Parmesan. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, creating a rich, creamy coating. If the sauce is too thick, add a ladle of reserved pasta water.

Top the pasta with sliced steak and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan. Garnish with fresh thyme or crispy fried onions for an extra layer of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting, indulgent flavors of French Onion Steak Pasta.
