   ملاحظة الطاهي: The longer the marination, the more tender and flavorful the meat will be.

5. 5

   Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot.

   حوالي 2 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Do not add oil to the pan, as the meat is already marinated in olive oil.

6. 6

   Add the marinated meat in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

   حوالي 1 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Overcrowding will steam the meat instead of searing it.

7. 7

   Cook the meat for 3-5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.

   حوالي 10 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: The thin slices cook quickly, so keep an eye on them.

9. 9

   Add the thinly sliced yellow onion to the same pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

   حوالي 7 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: The onions will absorb the delicious pan drippings from the meat.

    Return the cooked meat to the pan with the onions and toss to combine.
