Cubed Steaks

Tonight's dinner was pretty simple, but a special request from my husband.

Ingredients:
1 pound cubed steaks
1 large white onion

that's pretty much it. I swirled a little olive oil in the bottom of our stainless steel skillet, then added the steaks over medium high heat. A pinch of black pepper over each; about 5 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking.

In a second skillet, I added the onion strips (cut your onion in half, then place cut-side down; cut slices and separate the pieces - did that make any sense?) and another swirl of olive oil over medium heat. Toss the onion in the oil and keep stirring lots to be sure the onion doesn't burn. If you start seeing burned edges on the onion strips, just add a little more oil. Cook the onions as much as you like. The more brown they get, the sweeter they'll taste.

Top the steaks with the carmelized onions. Add a squirt of ketchup or BBQ sauce for dipping. YUM! We also served sweet potato and a side salad to round out the menu.
