Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 2 pieces sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick) Choose high-quality sirloin for the best flavor.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Cream Sauce
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute half-and-half or coconut cream.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Or fresh minced garlic, if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by patting the sirloin steaks dry. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time for your desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
  2. In the same skillet, add the butter and sliced onions. Turn heat to medium-low and cook slowly, stirring every couple of minutes until golden brown (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Once the onions are caramelized, pour in the heavy cream, garlic powder, and Dijon mustard. Stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Slice the rested steaks against the grain and arrange on plates. Smother with the creamy onion sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Don’t rush the caramelization of the onions; patience is key! Customize your sauce with mushrooms or Worcestershire sauce if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
