Entrecôtes à Gratin
This is my family's recipe. For as long as I can remember it was one of our favorite holiday dishes. In this recipe, the sirloin steaks are baked with caramelized onions, mayonnaise and cheese on top.
Sides: Rice and baby peas and/or carrots
Wine: Merlot or Cabernet-Sauvignon
Serves 8
Ingredients Directions
Preheat the oven to 375F.

4 Lb. of beef sirloin
  cut into portion size pieces
  1/2 inch thick
meat tenderizing mallet
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
baking dish
Place the steaks onto a cutting board, and beat them with tenderizing mallet on both sides on at a time (about 10 hits per side).
Rub the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Arrange on a baking dish so that the steaks do not overlap.

6 yellow onions sliced
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
Sauté the onions in butter and oil on medium low heat until golden brown stirring occasionally.
Add salt and sugar and mix well.

2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 cups mayonnaise
Combine the cheese and mayonnaise and mix well.
Spread the onions on top of the steaks (about 2 Tbsp per steak), then spoon the cheese mayonnaise mixture on top (about 1/4 cup per steak).

1/4 cup water Splash the water between the steaks.
Bake in the middle of preheated 375F oven for 30 minutes.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
