Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes or until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the beef to the skillet, along with its juices.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme leaves, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Pour in 1/4 cup of water, stirring to combine all ingredients well.
Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to preference.
Optional: sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, high-protein savory beef with caramelized onions.
