Seared Sirloin Steaks with Red Onion and Hoegaarden Beer Sauce

Sometimes a girl just needs a steak and roasted potatoes to be happy, I was definitly a happy camper after having this.  I added  touch of apple butter for sweetness and used Hoegaarden beer because its what I had on hand, but you can use any kind of beer that you like.

Ingredients serves 4
For the sauce
2 tsp butter
1 large red onion, sliced
5 garlic cloves, minced
 a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme
1/2 up beef stock
1 bottle of Hoegaarden beer or substitute
1 tbsp applebutter

Melt the butter in a small sauce pot over a medium heat, add the onions and sautee for about 10 minutes until the onions are softened and browned.

Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 10- 15 minutes until thickened. Remove the sprigs of herbs.

For the steak, Drizzle the meat with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper.  At this point you can grill the meat on the BBQ, I seared my steaks on a griddle over a high heat for about 3 minutes a side.

Serve the sauce over top the steaks

For the potatoes
15 medium sized potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp garlic granules

Pre heat the oven to 375*f

In a large boil, toss  the potato slices with the olive oil, paprika and garlic granules. Spread the potato slices onto a baking sheet or two lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-45 minutes until browned, turning the potatoes once.
