It’s grillin’ and chillin’ time; so fire up those grills for some great backyard barbeques. With Memorial Day and the unofficial start of the summer right around the corner, cleaning up the grill should be on everyone’s to-do list.

Grilled Ribeye with Caramelized Onions and Gorgonzola Steak Butter
Serves 6
- 1-24 oz. boneless Delmonico rib eye steak
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, approx.
- 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper, approx.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large Vidalia onions, sliced 1/2 inch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon GCooks Creole Soul seasoning
- 1/4 pound butter, softened
- 1/4 pound gorgonzola, crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
For Steak:
Gently blot steak dry with paper towels. Generously season with salt and pepper and drizzle all over with olive oil. Let rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Preheat grill or ovenproof grill pan to medium-high heat.
Sear steaks on one side, in a hot grill pan or over direct heat on the grill, undisturbed for 4-6 minutes to create nice grill marks.
Flip steak and transfer to preheated oven (or to indirect heat on the grill) for 12-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 135° for medium rare. Check with an instant-read thermometer. PLEASE DO NOT CUT OPEN STEAK! You will lose valuable juices.
Let steak rest, covered loosely with foil, for 10 minutes. This will allow juices to redistribute throughout the meat. The temperature will rise 5-10 degrees upon standing.
Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil. Add onions, salt, pepper and GCooks Creole Soul seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes, until soft and turning golden brown. Turn up the heat to medium-high for about 1-2 minutes to evaporate the liquid. Set aside and keep warm.
For Butter:
Mix butter thoroughly with a wooden spoon until smooth. Gently stir in cheese, Worcestershire, pepper, and parsley. Blend well, leaving cheese a little chunky.
Slice steak in 1/2" slices. Serve on a warm platter (family style) topped with caramelized onions and big dollops of Gorgonzola Steak Butter.
Now it’s time to continue your fiesta….or maybe take a siesta!
