    Ingredients:

    3-lb. roast cut of top sirloin steak, boneless
    3 Tbs. olive oil, divided
    1 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. ground black pepper
    4 large yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
    3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 small bunch flat parsley leaves, roughly chopped, about 1/4 cup
    1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
    2 Tbs. lemon juice
    8 portobello mushroom caps
    2 Tbs. flour
    1/2 cup dry red wine
    1 cup beef stock or broth

    Preparation:

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

    Rub steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large casserole on the stovetop, sear beef on both sides. In a heavy roasting pan combine onions and olive oil and roast in oven for 20 minutes, until onions begin to caramelize. Place charred roast on top of onions and roast until internal temperature is 135 degrees (for medium rare) or higher, about 45 minutes. In final 15 minutes (internal temperature of beef should be approximately 120 degrees), mix garlic cloves, flat parsley leaves, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice and brush mixture on steak and on portobello mushroom caps. Add mushroom caps to roasting pan while the beef cooks for final 15 minutes.

    Remove roast, place on carving board and allow to rest. Place onions and mushroom caps on platter.

    Pour excess fat from roasting pan, leaving 1 tablespoon. Add 2 tablespoons flour and cook on stovetop for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup dry red wine and reduce by half. Add 1 cup beef stock or broth and cook for 2 minutes.

    Carve roast. Serve with onions, mushrooms and gravy.
