Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Sprinkle the steak with the salt and pepper.

  2. Heat 1/2 Tbsp of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 3 minutes.

  4. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the onions and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. 

  5. Add the water, thyme, and brown sugar, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, until the onions are very soft.

  6. Slice the steak. Serve the slices covered with the onions.

I didn't have strip steak, so I made this with elk tenderloins and added a few mushrooms. Excellent flavor! Will definitely make again.

Yum just yum!
The only thing I should have done was trim the steaks a bit better. Other than that excellent meal!
