Steak and Onions

by Diana Rattray

Use thin, budget-friendly top sirloin steaks for their excellent flavor and texture. The steaks are marinated and then quickly fried with onions.

I like top sirloin because, even though it’s firmer than more pricey cuts like ribeye and tenderloin, the flavor is excellent and it’s easy on the budget. A marinade helps to tenderize these steaks.

Course Steak

Prep Time 12 minutes minutes

Cook Time 14 minutes minutes

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 1/2 pound top sirloin steaks
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
• 2 medium sweet onions, sliced
• chopped cilantro or parsley, for garnish, optional

Instructions

• Put the steaks in a plastic food storage bag or nonreactive container. Add the lemon juice, soy sauce, pepper, sugar, and garlic. Mix well to coat the beef.
• Cover and refrigerate the steaks for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the sliced onion until softened and lightly browned, about 8 to 12 minutes. Remove the onions to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Remove the steaks from the marinade; set the marinade aside. Cook the steaks until nicely browned on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the steaks and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the steaks are browned.
• Add the onions and reserved marinade to the skillet with the steaks and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Serve the steaks with the sauce mixture and garnish with parsley if desired.
