Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the steak in Worcestershire sauce for an hour before cooking. If you don’t have peanut oil, canola or vegetable oil works well too. For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the steak to achieve a nice sear.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish over egg noodles or rice for a hearty meal. A side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad complements the richness of the steak beautifully. For a comforting twist, pair it with Mama Lous Cake for dessert, creating a delightful end to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the steak and onions in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. You can also microwave it on low power but be careful not to overcook the steak.
