Instructions:
1️⃣ Marinate the Steak:
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic (minced or powdered), and black pepper. Mix well, cover, and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to absorb.
2️⃣ Caramelize the Onions:
In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, golden, and caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3️⃣ Cook the Steak:
In the same skillet, add olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak in batches (do not overcrowd the pan) and sear for 1–2 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Repeat as necessary.
4️⃣ Combine and Finish:
Return all the steak slices to the skillet along with the caramelized onions. Toss everything together and heat for another minute until well combined and warmed through.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables. For an Asian-inspired meal, serve it over jasmine rice with a side of steamed broccoli.
