This meal  was everything. I would marinate the steak a little longer  but I don’t think I can ever eat steak without this onion sauce ever again! Husband loved it.  I made this with the twice baked potato and Mexican corn on the Cobb. #stuffed

I don’t understand why she slathers the steak with salt and lets the steaks sit with all that salt.   I was always told that salt draws out the blood, hence a dry steak.

This was awesome, but I did not use on steaks. We were having thick pork chops and I saw your show and decided to try this. I brined my chops (Geoffrey Zakarian’s  recipe) overnight, then I followed your recipe for the rub and also the spicy onion sauce (I used chicken broth) and I cooked them in a cast iron skillet (our grill died) Seared them on both sides,, cooking 2 minutes with the lid on after turning, then I removed the lid and continued cooking and then let them rest. They were juicy and flavorful. My husband said they were delicious!
