"The Pioneer Woman" - My Onion Adventure

To be honest, my husband and I are not fans of onions unless it is an onion blossom or onion rings (O-RINGS! YUMMY!).  But I do use a lot of onion powder in my cooking.  I somehow came across The Pioneer Woman main page the other day and a recipe caught my eye.  "Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce" As you know last Saturday we roasted a cow and ever since I've been thinking about the tasty slice that I had and how it could be better!  Ree (The Pioneer Woman) claims "They'll love you till the end of time."  I have yet to make her exact recipe... Tonight she inspired me to create my own version of her dish with Filet Mignon.


I caramelized the onions in butter...

Then added some cream...

 

Simmered...and added crumbled Gorgonzola cheese... 

I was going to stop right there with the cheese, salt & pepper... after it simmered a bit, I tasted it...  It just didn't taste right...something was missing.  It needed a bit more flavor and texture.  I ended up adding some diced portobello mushrooms.  (I diced 2 large caps the night before so that I could make some more spinach portobello ravioli.)

The finished product.......fresh mashed potatoes (sour cream, butter, garlic, salt & pepper), Filet Mignon, and topped it with my "onion adventure".

Surprisingly my husband ate all of it...the onions, the gorgonzola cheese... the flavors all blended really nicely.  I loved the addition of the mushrooms!
