Excellent flavor. We did alter the prep somewhat. We grilled our marinated steak on the charcoal grill. Also, after sauteing the onions, we stirred in the sour cream mixture to create a wonderful cream sauce to smother the slices of grilled steak. Served up with baked sweet potatoes and roasted asparagus, this was an incredible meal.

This was so flavor filled, and tender! i had to make a change in how to cook it, due to a husband who wants his meat WELL done. i took the meat out, sliced diagaonally, and put individual slices back into the fry pan, and cooking each cut side. i covered pan while cooking sides. it was still delicious, and i have another meal for my picky husband!

Great flavor. I also used ms_bold's suggestion and added the sour cream mixture to the onions to make a cream sauce. Thanks for a great recipe!
