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
Directions
Step 1
Slice the onions into thin rings and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir in the red wine vinegar and let it evaporate. Then, transfer the onion mixture to a plate and set aside.
Step 5
Pat dry the beef sirloin with paper towels and season both sides with black pepper.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board, tented with foil.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Slice the rested beef thinly against the grain.
Step 10
To serve, place the beef slices on a platter, top with caramelized onions, and drizzle with the reduced sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
