• coat a skillet with the oil spray. Heat on medium high. Add the steak when hot, sear for 90 seconds on one side, then turn the steak and sear for another 90 seconds. Remove the steak to a platter, and cover with aluminum foil. Set aside as you start cooking the vegetables.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil into the same skillet you used to sear the steak. Heat on medium, and add the onions along with about half of the broth. Stir the onions, and scrape up any of the spices and bits of meat that stuck to the skillet during the steak searing. Stir to incorporate into the liquid.
