Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef (sirloin or chuck, thinly sliced)
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Water or beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin rings. Set them aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the beef into bite-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are softened and caramelized.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute, or until the mixture is fragrant.

Step 6

Return the browned beef to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onion mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the barbecue sauce and water (or beef stock). Stir to coat the beef and onions evenly in the sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Turn the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the dish simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more barbecue sauce if you prefer a saucier dish.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
