Delicious steak!!! I love sauteed onions with my steaks, so I knew I would enjoy this recipe. After reading breezer's review, I chose an easy way for adding the garlic. I used the jarred minced garlic and used my meat mallet to get it into the meat. I also really liked the added flavor of the wine in the onions. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT 8.

This was pretty quick and easy to make. I tried pounding my garlic into my steak, but it didn't want to stay. So I ended up cutting slits into the meat and inserting the smashed and sliced garlic. The steaks were very garlicky! I think I would grill the steaks next time, and top with the wine and onion sauce. Thanks for sharing. Made for the Herbaceous Curvaceous Honeys ZWT8.
