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)

Directions

Step 1

Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Season both sides of the sirloin steaks with salt and black pepper. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Increase the heat to medium-high.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Slice the rested steaks against the grain. Serve hot with the caramelized onions on top.

Step 10

Optionally, garnish with fresh thyme and serve alongside mashed potatoes or a side salad for a complete meal.
