Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Beef
Cut the beef sirloin into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef cubes and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Onions
Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and sauté until they are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Beef
In the same skillet, add the marinated beef cubes. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until browned on the outside and medium rare on the inside. Remove from heat.
