Zwiebelrostbraten

Zwiebelrostbraten is a classic German dish that showcases the rich flavors of pan-seared beef steak topped with sweet, caramelized onions. Originating from the southern regions of Germany, this hearty meal is often enjoyed in cozy taverns and family gatherings, embodying comfort and tradition. The savory sauce, enriched with red wine and beef broth, elevates the dish, making it a delightful centerpiece for any dinner table.

Ingredients

Beef steaks
4 (about 6 oz each)
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Butter
2 tablespoons
Onions
2 large, thinly sliced
Flour
1 tablespoon
Beef broth
1 cup
Red wine
1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. Season the beef steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Carefully add the seasoned steaks to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time to achieve your desired doneness.
  4. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.
  6. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions, stirring to coat evenly.
  8. Gradually pour in the beef broth and red wine, stirring continuously to combine and prevent lumps.
  9. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Return the rested steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  11. Serve the Zwiebelrostbraten hot, drizzled with the onion sauce, accompanied by your favorite side dishes like roasted potatoes or spaetzle.

Tips

  • 💡 For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the beef steaks in red wine and fresh herbs for a few hours before cooking.
  • 💡 Pair this dish with a side of roasted root vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
