Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8 oz each) sirloin steak
- 2 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons beef stock (optional)
Instructions
Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
Season both sides of the sirloin steaks with salt and black pepper. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, until they become golden brown and caramelized.
Once caramelized, add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the onions, stirring for an additional 2 minutes to enhance their flavor. If desired, add 2 tablespoons of beef stock to create a bit more sauce. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the steaks. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and thyme sprigs to the skillet, and spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste it.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing, ensuring the juices redistribute evenly.
Slice the rested steaks against the grain. Serve hot with the caramelized onions on top.
Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme and serve alongside mashed potatoes or a side salad for a complete meal.
