Steakhouse Rival....

Ok so one way to eat good on the cheap is to do what I did tonight! Tonight was Balsamic marinated Sirloin with caramelized onions, Roasted red potatoes and green beans. What makes it so cheap is that I bought ONE sirloin steak for the family. I was 1.5 lb steak. I marinated it in balsamic vinaigrette for one hour. Meanwhile cubed the red potatoes and coated them with EVOO and garlic and herb seasoning, popped them in the oven to roast about 45 minutes at 400F. Next slice a yellow onion into thin slices. In a large nonstick skillet on medium heat, heat up 2tbsp butter and about 2 tbsp EVOO, drop in the onions, once they sweat a little and become translucent, turn down the heat to med-low and cook for 25 minutes stirring occasionally watching them turn golden brown. Once golden brown remove from skillet. Turn heat back up to med-hi and place steak in the skillet and sear for about 4 minutes, cover and let cook. Flip over and sear another 4 minutes, cover and let cook until desired doneness. Once your preference is reached, be sure to let the meat rest for about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Add onions. Meanwhile, potatoes should be done and green beans are easy to steam and eat.VOILA! DINNER!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!!!
