French Onion Soup Compound Butter on Steak: The 3-Way Experiment That Ended in a Unanimous Winner

Guga tests three ways to bring French onion soup flavors to prime 21-day aged steaks: plain, topped with a homemade French onion compound butter, and fully loaded with caramelized onions, toasted baguette, and melted Gruyère. Inspired by a masterclass from a French Hall of Fame chef in NYC, this video walks through making French onion soup from scratch and turning it into the ultimate steak topping. All three tasters unanimously crowned the fully loaded version the winner.
