Steak Tips With Caramelized Onions By afamilyfeast.com
Using Coca Cola is a commonly-used ingredient in steak marinades and it helps tenderize the beef. But – if you use a really good-quality cut of beef, it is not necessary and water can be used. (For our rib eye tips, we used water.)
Prep time: Cook time: Total time:
Yield: 4 Servings
Ingredients: For the Marinade 1 cup ketchup ½ cup Coca-Cola or water (see note) ½ cup sugar ½ cup extra virgin olive oil ¼ cup red wine vinegar ½ cup Worcestershire sauce ½ cup A-1 Sauce 1½ tablespoons freshly ground black pepper etc
Instructions:
In a medium sauce pan, place all marinade ingredients and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and gently simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Trim any gristle or large pieces of fat from beef. Cut into large pieces; about 2-3 inches square. Place cut beef in a zip lock bag. Pour cooled marinade over beef, seal and marinate 8-24 hours.
In a medium sauté pan over low heat melt butter in olive oil and place onions, salt, pepper and sugar and cook stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes until onions are caramelized but not cooked down too much. Start cooking tips as the onions get close to finishing.
