Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Season the beef strips with salt and black pepper and set aside.
Slice the onions into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion slices to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef strips in batches. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside once all the beef strips are cooked.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the skillet.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce. Stir well to combine, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Return the caramelized onions and beef strips to the skillet, stirring to coat the beef with the sauce.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with additional thyme leaves if desired.
