Ribeye Patty Melt Recipe

Preparing the Patty Melt

1. 1

   Prepare the Ribeye Patty

   Finely chop the ribeye steak and season it with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Onion

   Slice the Maui onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, add a little butter and sauté the onions until they are caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Grill the Patties

   In the same skillet, add a little more butter and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the ribeye patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Melt the Cheese

   Place a slice of smoked provolone on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to help the cheese melt.

5. 5

   Prepare the Onion Strings

   While the patties are cooking, prepare the onion strings according to package instructions or fry them from scratch in a separate pan until crispy.

6. 6

   Prepare the Bread

   Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the outside when grilling.

7. 7

   Assemble the Patty Melt

   On the non-mayo side of two slices of sourdough, place a ribeye patty with melted provolone, a generous amount of caramelized Maui onions, and a handful of onion strings. Top with the other two slices of sourdough, mayo side up.

8. 8

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the same skillet over medium heat, add the assembled sandwich. Grill until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula while grilling.

9. 9

   Serve

   Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
