Ingredients

• 4 6-ounce portions sirloin steak
• 6 slices thick-cut bacon
• 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large, thinly sliced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the sirloin steaks on both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove steaks and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Stir in the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and caramelized. Add garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Return the steaks to the skillet, placing them on top of the onions. Arrange 1-2 slices of bacon on top of each steak.

Step 7

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the steaks and bacon.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the steak reaches your preferred level of doneness.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully transfer the steaks to plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
