Steak Tartlets with Caramelized Onion and Gorgonzola Jam

Better make a double batch because these won't last too long. Sweet and tangy onions paired with funky cheese and a savory steak is a perfect appetizer for any gathering. Top with some thyme for a holiday touch.

Ingredients:

For carmelized onions:

2 large Spanish or yellow onions
3 tbsp cooking oil
2 tbsp brown sugar
Generous pinch salt
1 tbsp cup sherry or white wine
1 cup water (1 splash at a time)
3 oz Gorgonzola cheese

Tartlets

1 Pre® Sirloin Steak
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 pie crust (store-bought works well)
2 tbsp melted butter
Arugula
Thyme leaves
Gorgonzola cheese crumbles

Slice onions into thin arches. Add 3 Tbsp cooking oil to dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and do not disturb for 6-8 minutes. Stir and repeat.
After about 20 minutes, add 2 Tbsp brown sugar and a generous pinch of salt. Repeat process, now stirring every 3-5 minutes, as onions slowly brown and melt into a shiny, brown jam. Add a splash of water and adjust heat as needed to keep the bottom of the pan from scorching.
When onions are very dark and condensed down into a brown jam consistency add sherry wine and scrape any brown bits from the bottom.
Crumble in appx 3oz gorgonzola cheese. Stir to melt and combine. Taste and adjust for your perfect balance of sweet onion, saltiness, and pungent cheese.
Set aside to cool until ready to use. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

For Tartlets:

Heat oven to 350º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Allow pie dough and steak to come to room temperature.
When ready, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a very thin circle. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out circles and place them on the baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter.
Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow to cool. (Makeup to a day in advance, store in an airtight container.)
Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 Tbsp cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or to your desired doneness). Remove from heat and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain into very thin slices.
Assemble tartlets: onto each small pie crust, add 2 arugula leaves, 1 slice steak, and 1 small spoonful of onion + cheese jam. Garnish with crumbled cheese and a sprinkle of thyme leaves. Serve room temperature.

"Real talk...since my cancer was environmental and not hereditary I am super conscious of what goes into my body, especially protein. Post chemo left my body super low in iron so steak remains in my diet. I found Pre a few months ago and it’s the only meat I buy. Grass-fed, no added hormones and most importantly affordable. Eat better for your body people!"

"Your steaks, especially the sirloin, ribeye, and filet mignon are absolutely delicious. Wasn’t sure how these cuts would taste grilled but they taste just as good if not better than cuts I’ve had a top notch steakhouses."

Mario

"When our son was diagnosed with a rare medical disorder, it meant that we would have to change our diet as a family. Because his metabolism doesn’t function like a typical person’s, we have to be very careful about what we feed him. One of the changes we made was to use more grass-fed and finished beef in our cooking. We decided to give Pre a try, and we are so happy with the quality and taste of the meat. Buying from Pre gives us peace of mind and we feel confident knowing that we are using a product in the top of its class."

Lindsay

"This beef is AMAZING! I'm from Wisconsin so a huge steak lover. This is some of the best beef, I've experienced and I've had beef around the world. It's a must try, and you'll understand what I mean."
