👨‍🍳 Instructions

    💡 Pro Tips

    • Caramelize onions at 275-300°F in the oven for 45-60 minutes instead of stovetop to achieve even browning without constant stirring, as the dry heat promotes Maillard reactions more consistently.technique275-300°F for 45-60 minutes
    • Salt onions with 1 teaspoon per pound at the start of cooking to draw out moisture through osmosis, reducing caramelization time by 25-30% and preventing burning.ingredient1 tsp per pound
    • Sear steak at 400-450°F surface temperature for 90 seconds per side to develop a proper crust while keeping the center at medium-rare (130-135°F internal).technique400-450°F surface, 90 seconds per side
    • Reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water before draining because the 6-8% starch content acts as a natural emulsifier to bind the sauce to pasta without breaking.timing1 cup, 6-8% starch content
    • Deglaze the pan with dry sherry or white wine at a 4:1 ratio to pan drippings to dissolve fond and create the base for French onion flavor without overpowering the dish.ingredient4:1 ratio wine to drippings
