Addictive Onion Steak

A chef-taught onion steak that cooks a whole onion with its skin on. Microwaving the onion while still wrapped in its skin, then pan-frying it in butter, seals in the moisture and aroma for a juicy finish. Coated in a sweet-and-savory sauce, it releases a burst of onion juices the moment you cut into it.

  1. Peel off any damaged or loose outer skin by hand, then wash the onion thoroughly, including the skin and root end, as dirt and grit often remain.Uses: Onion~2 minWatch the video from 0:16
  2. Using a knife, shave off only the hard, dirty part of the root end. Keep it to a light trim, since fully cutting out the core makes the layers fall apart during cooking.Uses: Onion~1 minWatch the video from 0:23
  3. Checking the position of the root core, cut the onion in half so the knife passes through the center of the core. However, do not cut all the way through the skin at the top; leave it slightly attached.Uses: Onion~1 minWatch the video from 0:37
  4. Place the onion cut side together into a small heatproof bowl or similar container that fits it snugly. The skin covers the onion and traps the steam, so heat it without plastic wrap.Uses: Onion~1 minWatch the video from 0:58
