Caramelized Onion Smothered Sirloin Steak For Dinner

This recipe is such a guys meal and always puts a big smile on hubby’s face. Since he’s been working extra hard this week, I treated him to a steak dinner. I made the crockpot potatoes I told you about a few days ago to go along with this and it turned out great. A simple salad rounded out the meal. Now show me a guy who wouldn’t love this for his supper.

Caramelized Onion Smothered Sirloin Steak

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter, divided
3 cups sweet onion, sliced thin
½ teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons beef broth
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
2 (6 ounce) beef sirloin steaks, boneless and 1 inch thick
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

Place 1 tablespoon of butter into a large skillet and place over medium heat.  Let the butter melt completely.  Add the onions.  Stir in the sugar and allow to cook 20 minutes or until caramelized being sure to stir often.  Pour in the beef broth and add the thyme.  Stir well to incorporate.  Cook 3 minutes or until the beef broth is reduced.  Sprinkle both sides of the steaks with the salt and pepper.  Place the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into another large skillet.  Allow the butter to completely melt over medium heat.  Add the steaks and cook 5 minutes.  Turn and continue cooking 3 minutes for a medium rare steak.  Adjust cooking times for rare or well done.  Remove and place the onions over the steaks before serving.
