Steak with Shallots and Red Wine Vinegar

For those that know me well, they know I absolutely love onions. I'm so crazy about them I probably would eat them raw! Ok that might be going a bit to far but I love onions and shallots (also known as french onions) in just about everything. They are essential cooking ingredients and with this steak its no exception.

Ingredients

  • Sirloin steak (although any steak will do)
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Lemon
  • Olive oil
  • Oregano
  • 2-5 garlic cloves
  • Butter
  • Salt

Directions

  1. Buy New York Top Sirloin steak (Safeway does the best with their 'restaurant style' cuts)
  2. For each sirloin steak make sure you have at least 1 shallot (also known as french onions)
  3. Peel and chop all shallots
  4. In a iron black pan at medium heat drop 1/2 tablespoon of butter
  5. The butter should turn brown and melt very quickly so add the steak to the pan
  6. Cook the steak on medium-high heat, each side for 2-3 minutes
  7. Once the steak is cooked, remove quickly, place it on a plate and cover it so it stays warm
  8. In the iron black pan add another 1/2 tablespoon of butter
  9. Add several tablespoons of red wine vinegar (or red wine)
  10. Then toss in the chopped shallots and mix stir them in the pan. Should only take a minute to heat up
  11. Once step 7-10 is complete (it should only take you a minute or two) toss the shallots on top of the steak along with any natural sauce from the pan and serve
