1
Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. If using garlic, mince it finely. Slice the onions into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2
Cook the Steak
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, place the steak in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
3
Sauté the Onions
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally. If using garlic, add it in the last minute of cooking to avoid burning.
4
Finish with Butter (Optional)
If desired, reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet with the onions. Stir until melted and combined. This will add a rich flavor to the onions.

5
Plate the Dish
Slice the rested steak against the grain into strips. Serve the steak on plates topped with the sautéed onions. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
