What You'll Need

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
What to Do

- In a large skillet over high heat, heat remaining oil Add the steak and place the onions and garlic around it. Brown steak about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then turn steak and onions over; cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Notes
What's a better side dish than creamed spinach - and it's so easy! Just sauté a chopped onion in a little butter and add a package of frozen spinach that's been thawed and drained, salt (if desired), pepper, and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir until hot and thickened.
