1. Prep the Steak: Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until softened and lightly browned. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.

6. Combine and Finish: Return the onions and steaks to the pan with the sauce. Simmer for a few more minutes, basting the steaks with the sauce.
