**Steak with Caramelized Onions and Mashed Potatoes**
There is nothing quite like a classic, comforting dinner to warm the soul! If you’re looking for a hearty, tender meal that is easy to prepare and gentle to enjoy, this recipe is perfect for your next evening in.
Here is how to bring this delicious dish to your table:
**Ingredients**
* **For the Potatoes:** 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and cubed), ¼ cup milk, 2 tablespoons butter, salt to taste.
* * **For the Onions:** 2 large yellow onions (thinly sliced), 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil.
* * **For the Steak:** 2 tender sirloin or ribeye steaks, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon butter.
**Simple Steps**
1. **Prep the Potatoes:** Place cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water. Boil for about 15 minutes until very tender. Drain, add milk and butter, and mash until smooth and creamy. Cover to keep warm.
2. 2. **Caramelize the Onions:** In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter with the olive oil. Add the sliced onions. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 15–20 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown and sweet. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. 3. **Cook the Steak:** Season your steaks generously with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3–5 minutes per side (or until your preferred level of doneness).
4. 4. **Serve:** Place the steak on a plate, top with a generous spoonful of those sweet, caramelized onions, and serve alongside a big scoop of creamy mashed potatoes.
**Pro-Tip:** Yukon Gold potatoes make the fluffiest mash, and they are much easier on the digestion than other varieties!
