Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (sirloin or chuck, thinly sliced)
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water or beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin rings. Set them aside.
Thinly slice the beef into bite-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are softened and caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is fragrant.
Return the browned beef to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onion mixture.
Pour in the barbecue sauce and water (or beef stock). Stir to coat the beef and onions evenly in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the dish simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more barbecue sauce if you prefer a saucier dish.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
