Steak so Easy and simple: Onion-Smothered Sirloin Steak

Ingredients:

• 3 tsp olive oil
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
• 2 (1/2-lb) boneless sirloin steaks, trimmed and cut crosswise in half

Makes 4 servings

1. Heat 2 tsp of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, thyme and 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Add the broth and cook until almost evaporated, about 4 minutes. Transfer ot a medium bowl and set aside.
   
   
2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tsp of olive oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steaks with the remaining 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring to scrape up and browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the steaks are cooked to medium doneness, about 2 minutes longer.
   
   

Note: This recipe appears courtesy of WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. It's one of my favorites and it's really easy to make. I always use my CuisinArt Griddler to save time when I cook steak. I also use the Vidalia Chop Wizard to slice and dice my onions. You can buy the Chop Wizard at Target for about $20. and it's a lifesaver as well.
