What to do with caramelized onions? Help me with my dinner tonight!?

Question

I am making teriyaki skirt steak for dinner tonight. I really love caramelized onions and am going to make them.. but dont necessarily want to put them on my steak (thats what i always do.) Is their another dish I can make with caramelized onions?

Can anyone think of sides to go with teriyaki skirt steak? I have rice... texas toast... and just other basic ingredients.

Thanks guys!

Answer 1

Add some parmesan to those onion, mix it up and then put it in a little ramekin or mini casserole, top with a slice of mozzerella or more parmesan, bake until bubbly, and you have great little side dish. Add some sauteed mushrooms and it gets better.

There is also a german dish, called zwibelmcuchen (translates to onion pie-I don't think that is the right spelling but that is how it sounds)

Carmelized onion, lots of them, mixed with cheese (a german white cheese) spread out on a baking sheet. Salt and pepper heavily and bake for about 30 minutes on a medium oven. Remove from oven and let cool and set before serving.

Answer 2

If you have a well stocked supermarket, you might want to get some pre made egg rolls and bake them till they're crispy and I'd save the onions for another time that you have steak.......teriyaki is a pretty assertive flavor, I just think that the onions would be overkill......although, I did a teriyaki skirt steak with some Napa cabbage as a base (worked out great!!!) Just chopped the cabbage and put the steak on top of it......interesting combination of textures and flavors.....Enjoy!!!

sauteed mixed veggies are always nice with teriyako dishes
if you have julienned carrots, some green beans onions and beandsprouts, sauteed in sa little butter and garlic, and a little soy sauce, that'll be great.

for the caramelized onions, you can try a filipino-style beef steak.
marinate some steaks (i'd say breakfast steaks) in some soy sauce and lemon juice with a little black pepper for about 15 minutes or so. then heat up a little oil and cook a little minced garlic, pop in your steaks with the marinade and let it cook until tender. serve caramelized onions on top.
the sweetness of the onions will sit nicely with the saltiness and the acidity of the the steaks.

I love this and I think it would go great with teriyaki skirt steak

Caramelized Onion Rice
Recipe #1750427 ratings
I wanted a rice recipe that was easy and relatively quick to make brown rice more tasty. This is what I came up with. I've used long-grain brown rice and brown basmati rice for this, but you could also use white rice. Great for any meal you would use rice in.

Melt butter in skillet and sauté onions until softened and lightly browned. Add garlic, sauté 1 minute.
Add brown sugar and sauté until caramelized-looking, 3-4 minutes.
Mix rice, broth and onion mixture and cook in rice cooker.
Note: I like my rice slightly crunchy and not soggy so if you like yours softer add 1/4- 1/2 cup of extra broth.

One of the best onion recipes ever is Friday night onions!

Take Vidalia onions and cut them like you would if making a blooming onion. Put a beef boulion cube inthe middle and a small tab of butter. Wrap up in foil and cool on grill or in oven @ 350 for 20-30 minutes.

Answer 6

Your onions are already carmelized? How about coarsely cutting them and putting them, plus some beef bouillon, into the water in which your rice will cook? Ought to give it great flavor and some color as well. If you like, add some frozen peas to the rice, too, about half-way through cooking, and don't resume timing it until the rice returns to a simmer. That adds veggie-ness and more color.

What time should I arrive for dinner, and is a red wine okay?

Answer 8

You could take the rice and add the onions and add some red pepers and mix it together.

Also perogies are great with caramelized onions.

Answer 9

sautee some green peppers and mushrooms with the onions with some bbq sauce for the steak. It's really good.

Answer 10

How about homemade French onion soup?
Or make onion gravy to put over mashed potatoes.
