Mike's 10 Minute Thin T-Bone
- 2 medium Thin T-Bone Steaks well marbled
- 2 large White Onions thick 1/2"+ round slices
- 1 Portabella Mushrooms cleaned & sliced 1/2" thick
- 1 tsp Each: Black Pepper - Garlic Powder - Onion Powder - Salt
- 2 tbsp Salted Butter
- 1/4 cup High Heat Oil
- 1 large Cast Iron Skillet
- 1 Tongs
- Warm steaks to room temperature.
- Do not puncture steaks to tenderize.
- Season with salt and ground black pepper.
- Heat your oil, butter and seasonings in your cast iron skillet.
- Add your thick sliced onions and fry for about 2 minutes on a higher heat.
- Don't cover and allow to steam or allow your onions to fry for too long.
- However, do allow your onions to char a bit on their edges.
- You'll want your onions slightly trasparent and somewhat crispy or a snap at serving.
- Add your thick sliced Portabella Mushrooms, mix well and fry for another minute or two.
- Your mushrooms will cook and absorb your pan seasonings VERY quickly - so concern yourself more with the crisp or snap of those onions.
- The second picture shown below is 1 minute in to its fry and stir time.
- Notice how the mushrooms are already almost limp, yet the onions still look as though they have some life or chew to them.
- Drain onions and mushrooms on quality, lint free paper towels.
- Fry your thin T-Bones on high and I mean smokin' hot in that same cast iron skillet and seasoned oil with a lid.
- Fry for 1 minute or less on each side for rare.
- Just a bit longer for medium rare and 2 minutes on each side for well done.
- Remember, these are thin steaks on a high heat.
- They fry fast!
- Also, try to put a slight char on your steaks by waiting the full 1 or 2 minutes to flip them.
- You can slightly lift the edges to peek for burning, but no more if you want that delicious char.
- Drain steaks on top of your cooked onions and mushrooms that are resting on your paper towels for a few minutes.
- After they sit, plate your steaks and pile your vegetables on top.
- Garnish with fresh or Dried Parsley.
- You can also pre-make / have on hand a delicious, basic garlic butter to serve atop your hot steaks.
- This is always an appreciated option and this garlic butters shelf life attached below - is darn near forever!
- You can also put this butter on baked potatoes.
- Enjoy!
