How to mimic Ramsay's espresso and onion combo

For Gordon Ramsay, this blend serves as the foundation for a decadent café au lait sauce that incorporates bourbon, stock, demi-glace, and cream, complemented by coffee-infused, butter-sautéed shallots. He presents this delightful topping over a coffee-rubbed filet mignon, expertly seared with rosemary and garlic.

While that sounds enchanting, another way to make this combination shine is by caramelizing your onions in espresso (approximately 1 ounce of coffee for each onion). By gently simmering the softened, sweet onions with butter or oil and the rich, bitter notes of coffee, you’ll create a complex, versatile, and incredibly tasty condiment that pairs beautifully with everything from pot roast to flatbreads. You might also consider crafting a cheese board-friendly, caffeine-infused onion jam (with the option to add bacon for a savory kick).
Thanks to its bitterness, acidity, and that distinctive earthy flavor, espresso can elevate dishes far beyond your morning brew. By drawing inspiration from Ramsay’s approach, you may uncover a variety of delicious uses for coffee throughout the day.
