Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 NY Strip steaks
  • Olive oil as a binder
  • 1 tablespoon each salt pepper and garlic powder (or favorite steak rub)

Caramelized Onions

  • 2 white onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze

Compound Butter

  • 1 block softened butter unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup caramelized onions
  • 3 tablespoons roasted bone marrow

Instructions
 

  • Start off by roasting the bone marrow over direct heat, this should only take about 8-10 minutes. A good way to know is by checking the inside, it will bubble. Wrap in foil and save.
  • Apply olive oil on the steaks and season them with your favorite steak rub, let them sit while you make the caramelized onions.
  • Place a cast iron skillet over low heat and add olive oil and butter. Once it's melted together add the onions with a pinch of salt. Stir every few minutes and repeat this for about 40 minutes, the onions will begin to turn a deep rich brown. At this point, add the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic glaze and bourbon. Let it cook slowly for another 10-15 minutes and stir every minute or two. Remove and place in a bowl.
  • In a food processor add a block of butter, unsalted, the caramelized onions, roasted bone marrow, garlic paste, red pepper flakes and white wine vinegar. Run the processor for a minute, or until it’s consistently blended and wrapped in saran wrap. Place it in the fridge for 45 minutes.
  • Add the steaks over direct heat for searing, 60-90 seconds per side, and then transfer them to the indirect side. When the steaks reach 118 degrees F internally add a tablespoon of the Caramelized Onion Butter. Let the steaks finish and remove.
  • Let the steaks rest for 8-10 minutes and then slice. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
