Quick Skillet Sirloin Strips With BBQ Onion Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs sirloin, cut into thin strips (may use pre-sliced stir-fry beef)
• 1 large sweet onion, halved and sliced thin
• kosher salt
• fresh ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1. 1

   Dry the sirloin strips with paper towels and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Heat a tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet on medium high heat. Add sliced onion, season with salt, and cover, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned (about 5 min). Transfer the onions to a plate and set aside.

3. 3

   Add a tbsp oil to the empty pan and heat. Add half of the steak and spread out in a single layer, trying not to over crowd the beef. Let cook on one side for 3 - 5 minutes until brown, and using tongs, turn each strip to brown the other side for 3 - 5 minutes. Transfer the browned steak strips to a platter, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining steak strips, adding them to the same platter of cooked steak strips when finished.

4. 4

   Add the broth, barbecue sauce and browned onions into the empty pan. Simmer on medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Add butter, stirring it into the sauce while it melts. Taste sauce and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Pour sauce over steak on platter and serve hot.
