Equipment
- dutch oven
Ingredients
- 5 lbs beef lean cut, e.g. bottom sirloin
- 3 lbs onion
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 7 tsp vegetable oil
- ground pepper freshly ground
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F (180 C).
- Peel onions, cut them in half, then cut into ⅓ inch slices.
- In a large pan, sauté onions on 2 tbsp vegetable oil for 6-8 minutes over medium high heat, until golden brown. Transfer onions into dutch oven.
- Prepare your beef. Remove silver skin, connective tissues and fat. Cut in ⅓-½ inch slices. Season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
