read.
1⁄4 cup vegetable oil, divided
2 (9-oz.) yellow onions, thinly sliced
1⁄2 fresh Scotch bonnet or habanero

chile, seeded if desired
1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger

(from 1 [1-in.] piece)
11⁄2 tsp. kosher salt, divided

2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
2 tsp. fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 (13⁄4-lb.) bone-in rib-eye steak

(about 11⁄2-in. thick), at room
temperature
1⁄ 2 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
6 medium garlic cloves
Flaky sea salt

1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over
medium high. Add onions; cook, stirring
occasionally, until softened and translucent,
about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium
low; cook, stirring constantly, until onions
begin to turn a deep golden brown, about
20 minutes. Add chile, ginger and 1⁄2
teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally,
about 2 minutes. Add vinegar and lime juice;
cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove
from heat, discard chile, and set aside.
2. Season steak with black pepper and
1 teaspoon salt. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in
a large cast-iron skillet over medium high.
Once oil is just about to smoke, add steak,
and cook, undisturbed, until a light-brown
crust forms, about 4 minutes. Flip, and cook
another 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium;
add butter and garlic to skillet. Continue
cooking steak until a deep brown crust forms
and internal temperature is 125° to 130°
(medium rare) and garlic starts to brown,
4 to 6 more minutes, turning every 2 minutes
and basting with pan juices. Transfer steak to
a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
3. Cut meat from bone, against the grain,
into thick slices. Spoon some of the pan
juices over steak, and arrange cooked garlic
around dish. Sprinkle with sea salt; serve
with yassa sauce.
Serves: 2 Active time: 45 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes

Cheryl
Hines

THE ACTRESS, 55, IS
A PANELIST FOR

FOX’S NEW REALITY
SINGING COMPETITION

I CAN SEE YOUR VOICE

Last time I felt empowered
I recently wore a bright-red suit.
I didn’t go anywhere. It was a
Zoom interview, but I felt very in
control, ready to take on the
world. I upped my Zoom game.
Last text that made me laugh
A friend sent me a happy-
birthday video with Donny
Osmond singing “It’s your
birthday, Cheryl,” like an e-card.
I’ve watched it a thousand times.
Last time I was starstruck
Morgan Freeman. I was at a
cocktail party, and to hear an
iconic voice—the same one who
does the voice of God—say your
name, I still haven’t gotten over it.
Last fashion disaster
One year for the Emmys, I wore a
Georges Chakra dress. Somehow
I was on the worst and the best
dressed list. It had flesh-colored
netting on the back with beads.
It reminded some people of
an ice-skating costume. They
had strong feelings about it.
Last DIY project
I’ve been trying to scrape the
calcium buildup off the pool
tiles. I wanted to do it in the
morning before it got too
hot, so I was hanging upside
down in my bathrobe with a
razor scraper. Pretty sexy.
