Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 large Yellow onions
- 3 medium Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 cup Unsalted beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Slice the onions into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion slices and cook slowly, stirring occasionally until they are deeply browned and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
Once the onions are caramelized, add minced garlic and thyme leaves to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the red wine vinegar and let it evaporate. Then, transfer the onion mixture to a plate and set aside.
Pat dry the beef sirloin with paper towels and season both sides with black pepper.
In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef sirloin and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, tented with foil.
In the skillet, add the unsalted beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the unsalted butter and let the sauce reduce slightly.
Slice the rested beef thinly against the grain.
To serve, place the beef slices on a platter, top with caramelized onions, and drizzle with the reduced sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
