“I found this recipe just about the time I was getting brave about using herbs and rubs to flavor meats,” recalls Karin Woodbury of Ocala, Florida. “My family loved the taste and it's been a favorite ever since.”
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 large red onions, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 teaspoon salt, divided
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
4 beef tenderloin steaks (4 ounces each)
Directions:
1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray; add onions. Cook and stir over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until tender and browned. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, vinegar and sugar. Remove and keep warm.
2. Combine the pepper, thyme and remaining salt; rub over steaks. In the same skillet, cook steaks for 4-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Serve with onions. Yield: 4 servings.
