Maple Burnt End Rack

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the burnt end and let it maple, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the kosher salt and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a knob of butter and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
