Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup beef broth, paleo-friendly
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into strips and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, then cook slowly, stirring occasionally until they are caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. If onions begin to burn, lower the heat and continue cooking.
Step 4
While onions are caramelizing, mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
Once onions are deeply golden and caramelized, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
Step 7
Add the seasoned beef slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until the beef is browned but still tender.
Step 8
Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 9
Return the caramelized onions to the skillet with the beef.
Step 10
Add the fresh thyme leaves, balsamic vinegar, and beef broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and then reduce the heat to low.
Step 11
Simmer the beef and onions gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Step 12
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
Step 13
Serve the savory beef with caramelized onions immediately, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired.
