"Cheap Steak Done Well"

In these times you sometimes have to learn how to make a not so good cut of steak - a great cut of steak!
Here is my trick for doing just that!

Team Players
2 cuts of steak (I chose top sirloin - just to drive home my point)
Olive oil for frying
1 small onion (diced up)
1/2 cup of soy sauce
California Style Garlic Salt
White Pepper
Greek Seasoning
Dried Parsley

Start by pre-heating your oven to 200 degrees - yes you are going to fry these bad boys in a skillet and transfer them to your oven for a smidge!

If I had to say that I had a "house seasoning" - these four pictured above would comprise said seasoning... I use these four seasonings more than I use - regular salt and pepper - my pantry is NEVER without these items.. these are a perfect combo in the kitchen that consists of a real down home cook - now to get on with it already! I am a nerd what can I say! Creature of habit - when you find something that works for you - stick with it!

Cover the bottom of your pan with Olive oil and the diced onion - lay both of your steaks down right on top of the onions and olive oil... on the face up side of your steak - lightly dust with each "dry ingredient" of my "house seasoning" - white pepper (or black if you prefer), garlic salt, parsley and greek seasoning... then when ready - flip your steaks and season this seared side with the dry ingredients... this is what your steaks should now look like....

When both sides of the steak have been seared and seasoned - place them in a clean baking dish - this is an important step - POUR THE PAN JUICES over the steaks.... cover with aluminum foil and pop in the oven at 200 degrees for about 10-15 minutes depending on how hot your oven gets! When time is up - pull out and let the steaks rest (remaining covered) for approximately 7 minutes.

 Then peel back the foil and scrape off the onions!

I believe that you will be thoroughly and delightfully surprised at how easy and delicious these steaks will be. I think most of all you will be amazed at how tender and juicy the steaks now are!

This is how you make a "King's Steak on a Pauper's Budget"
