Beef & Onion Venetian
Tender beef sliced thin and seared fast, then braised with a mountain of caramelized onions and a splash of wine vinegar. This is the soul of fegato alla veneziana without the liver — rich, savory, and done in 20 minutes.

Step 1
Slice onions into thin half-moons. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Add onions and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and very soft, 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Pat beef dry. Add another tbsp oil to the skillet over high heat until it smokes lightly, ~90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear beef in a single layer 60–90 seconds per side without moving. Season with salt and pepper. Remove to a plate.
Step 5
Return onions to the skillet, add wine and vinegar, scraping the bottom to loosen browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes.
Step 6
Return beef and any juices to the pan, toss gently, and remove from heat. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
