[Sca-cooks] OOP: Query on Steak Smothered In Onions...

[ysabeau]

Admantius,
I use ribeye for this all the time especially because I like mine 
rare. It is actually my preferred cut. I only resort to sirloin or 
round steak when I have to make it stretch on a tight budget. I 
usually grill it instead of saute though. I'll do the onions and 
sauce inside ahead of time.
