This Sandwich Steak and onions recipe is so easy to make and delicious- I love how you can take 5 simple ingredients and combine them to make the most awesome flavors and so tender! They make a fantastic sandwich for a game day treat and also work really well on their own!
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add the onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Sweat the onions for a couple minutes, stirring often until they soften- you don't want them to brown, just to soften.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
While the onions are cooking, pat dry and season both sides of your steaks with salt and pepper to taste. If they're too big, cut them down a bit (keep in mind that they shrink, mine usually start around 3" - 4" inches each way).
Once the onions have been removed from the pan, brown the steaks on each side. Make sure you only do a few at a time because if you have too many in the pan at once they will steam and not brown.
As each group of steak browns on each side pull them out of the pan and keep them to the side with the onions.
Once all steaks are browned on each side, add everything back into the pan.
Cover with water and bring to a boil.
Simmer and reduce for about an hour, maybe a bit more, or until they are tender and almost falling apart. Serve immediately.
Notes
When it;'s done the onions will almost have disintegrated and you'll have a sauce that is perfect for dipping bread into.
This will last up to 3 days covered in the refrigerator and reheats well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
