Rib-Eye Steaks with Gorgonzola Butter and Crispy Sweet Onion Rings

Ingredients for Rib-Eye Steaks with Gorgonzola Butter and Crispy Sweet Onion Rings

• 2 heads of garlic, top 3/4 inch cut off to expose cloves

• 2 cucchiai di olio d'oliva

• 120ml (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

• 40g crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 60g )

• 2 cucchiai di prezzemolo fresco tritato

• 3 cups buttermilk

• 2 sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla), thinly sliced into rounds, then separated into rings

• 375g di farina bianca non sbiancata

• 3 tablespoons onion powder

• 3 tablespoons garlic powder

• 1 1/2 cucchiaini di sale

• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

• 950ml canola oil (for frying)

• 6 10- to 350g rib-eye steaks

• 2 cucchiai di olio d'oliva

Preheat oven to 177°C. Place garlic on piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic cloves out from papery skins into medium bowl; mash garlic with fork. Mix in butter, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer Gorgonzola butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 1 1/4-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around butter. Chill until firm. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.) Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.

Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add onion rings; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another large bowl.

Preheat oven to 177°C. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 177°C. Working with a few onion rings at a time, shake off excess buttermilk, then turn onion rings in flour mixture to coat. Fry onion rings until deep golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary for each batch to maintain temperature at 177°C, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain, then place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven while frying remaining onion rings.

Brush steaks with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with Gorgonzola butter and onion rings.
