Steak bites the Sleeper way

Note: Ran across this recipe idea in a Facebook post from dinneratthezoo.com. We liked the idea and did a little improvisation. This serves about four but can be easily scaled.

Ingredients 

  • 1 1/4 lbs sirloin steak 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • 2 -3 cloves minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • ½ pkg. Onion soup mix
  • 1 cup water
  • Kitchen Bouquet

Directions

  1. Trim the sirloin, add salt and pepper to flour, coat steak with flour, and beat the flour into each side with the edge of a saucer.
  2. Cut sirloin into bite sized pieces.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. 
  4. Sauté onion until it begins to clear.
  5. Add sirloin and cook until brown and crusty.
  6. Add the butter and garlic to the pan; cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce.
  7. Add onion soup to the cup of water and then add to the meat mixture and stir to thicken. You can add to the color and richness by adding about a teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet.
  8. Serve and garnish with parsley.

Choose your side – Jasmin rice, wild rice, mashed potatoes, etc. and your veggie of choice.
