Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp salad oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced, separated into rings
1 small garlic clove, minced or pressed
12 oz sirloin steak, cut into 2 equal pieces
salt and pepper
1/4 c dry vermouth or regular-strength beef broth
chopped parsley, optional

Steps:

1. Heat butter and oil in a wide frying pan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is limp and golden (about 30 minutes). Increase heat to brown onion slightly; remove from pan.
2. Meanwhile, sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. In same pan, over high heat, brown steak quickly on both sides adding a little more butter and oil, if needed; cook until meat is done to your liking (about 2 1/2 minutes on each side for rare). Remove to a warm platter.
3. Add vermouth to pan; heat quickly to reduce liquid slightly, stirring up browned bits from pan. Reduce heat, stir in onion, and heat thoroughly. Spoon onion mixture over steak. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
