Tips:

  • Choose the right steak. For this recipe, a flank steak or skirt steak is best. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for a weeknight meal.
  • Marinate the steak. Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs not only adds flavor but also helps to tenderize the meat.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple steaks, make sure to cook them in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Steak with Smothered Caramelized Onion is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is tender and juicy, and the onions are sweet and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
