Instructions:
For French Onions:
- In a 10-inch frying pan, combine sliced onion, butter, and sugar.
- Stir often over medium-high heat until the onion is lightly browned, approximately 12 minutes.
- Add all-purpose flour and mix well.
- Stir in beef broth and milk.
- Stir over high heat until boiling.
- Continue to boil, stirring constantly, until the liquid is almost evaporated, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese and shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. (This mixture yields about 1 cup of French onions).
For Rib Eye Steaks:
- Rinse the rib eye steaks and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Pat salt, pepper, and garlic flakes evenly onto the meat.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Pour olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick pan and heat over high heat (tilt to cover the bottom of the pan with oil).
- When the oil is hot, add the steaks and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes in total.
- Supporting the meat with tongs, tip the steaks onto their edge and rotate to lightly brown, about 2 minutes in total.
- As fat accumulates in the pan, wipe it out with paper towels.
- Place the steaks on an oven-safe plate and bake in the 400°F oven until the meat is done to your liking, approximately 8 to 12 minutes for rare or about 20 minutes for well done.
- Remove the plate from the oven.
- Turn the oven heat to broil.
- Remove any excess fat from the plate with a paper towel.
- Mound the prepared French onions on top of the steaks and sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese.
- Broil in the pan about 6 inches from the heat until the cheese bubbles and begins to brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and pour beef broth around the meat, stirring to release any browned bits.
- To serve, cut the rib eye steaks and onions into 4 equal portions.
- Transfer to individual plates and spoon the juices around the meat.
