ZWIEBELFLEISCH (ONION BEEF)

Steps:

• Cut the meat into thin strips.
• Heat butter in Dutch oven or large saucepan.
• Fry onions slowly, until deep yellow but not quite brown.
• Add meat, salt, pepper, marjoram, garlic, thyme, vinegar lemon peel and 1/2 cup water or beef stock.
• Cover and simmer slowly 1/2 hour, adding more water as necessary, keeping the meat in liquid.
• When meat is tender, dissolve flour in just enough cold water to make a smooth paste and stir into gravy.
• Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.

LEMON AND ONION MARINATED BEEF

Steps:

• Preparation: Cut beef into 1 inch cubes. Grate onion inside gallon size zip-lock bag to save onion juice. Place beef chunks into bag with grated onion, pour lemon juice over beef. Seal bag and mix together to ensure even coverage. Place bag inside a large bowl and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days (the longer the better, in my opinion).
• Cooking: drain juice from beef and onion and thread beef chunks onto metal or water soaked bamboo skewers. Place under broiler (with oven rack on the second from the top brackets) for 10-20 minutes or until edges are dark brown and crispy, turning every 5 minutes or so. Meat can also be cooked on a hibachi or regular grill. Meat does not need to be cooked to 160 degrees (and should not be!) as the lemon juice "cooks" the meat with enzymes while it marinates.

CREAMY BEEF AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, cook the beef, mushrooms and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. , In a small bowl, combine the gravy, yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and pepper; pour over beef. Cook until heated through. Serve with noodles; sprinkle with parsley.

BEEF WITH GREEN ONION

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the sherry, oyster sauce, sugar, and cornstarch.
• Heat the oil in a skillet, and cook the flank steak about 3 minutes. Stir in sherry sauce mixture. Add the green onions, and continue cooking 10 minutes, or until the flank steak is evenly brown and the green onions are tender.

ONION BEEF GRAVY

Steps:

• Spray a saucepan with cooking spray. Add garlic and cook over medium heat just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water, onion soup mix, and beef base; bring to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer until onions are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Combine milk and flour in a jar with a lid; shake until combined and whisk into the saucepan. Bring gravy back to a boil and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with black pepper.
