🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Beef:

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp green peppercorns (in brine), drained

For the Caramelized Onions:

• 3 large onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

🍳 Step 1: Caramelize the Onions

1. In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
3. Let the onions cook slowly for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft, golden brown, and jammy.
4. Add beef broth and thyme (if using). Simmer for 5 more minutes until the broth is mostly absorbed. Set aside.

🥩 Step 2: Sear the Beef

1. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in another large skillet over high heat.
2. Season the beef slices with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the beef for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and tender. Don’t overcrowd the pan—work in batches if needed.
4. Add the green peppercorns and stir to combine, letting them warm through.

🍽 Step 3: Bring It Together

1. Return the caramelized onions to the skillet with the beef and peppercorns.
2. Stir everything together and cook for 1–2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Plate the beef, spoon the onion mixture generously over the top, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
