No one wants to cook on Friday nights but since NYC will be a rainy wonderland tonight, stay in and cook a hearty dinner. Caramelized onion tarts and steak with white beans.
For the tarts: Caramelize one whole onion by slicing and putting it in a hot pan with oil and a pat of butter. Leave them to cook for about 45 minutes on moderate heat. While they are cooking, pop a tray of puff pastry tarts into the oven. Once everything is cooked spoon onions into the tart and cover with some swiss or gruyere cheese. Before serving dinner pop tarts back into the oven to melt cheese and then top with a little cloud of creme fraiche.
For the steak and white beans, marinade a couple of organic steaks in olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic and rosemary. Place steaks on a hot grill for 4-5 minutes per side which will yield a slightly pink interior. While the meat is cooking open up a can of white beans and cook in a pan along with a few sprigs of rosemary and a good amount of salt and pepper. Once the meat is cooked, leave it to rest for just a few minutes so the juices redistribute.
Assemble this feast on your plate, add a generous grind of black pepper, pour a nice glass of red and enjoy the delicious!
