Bacon and Onion Pan Sauce for Steak

Ingredients

Bacon

4 slices, chopped

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Beef broth

1 cup

Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the rendered fat behind. Set the bacon aside on a paper towel to drain.
2. In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the caramelized onions and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to lift any flavorful bits stuck to the pan.
5. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly and thicken.
6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
7. Just before serving, stir in the reserved crispy bacon to retain its crunchiness.
8. Drizzle this luscious sauce over your cooked steak, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
