Instructions
- Season the beef loin generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef loin and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a rich brown crust forms. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in the red wine, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Return the seared beef loin to the pan, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Once cooked, remove the beef from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- To serve, place slices of beef on the bread rolls and generously top with the onion and gravy mixture from the pan.
Tips
- For an added depth of flavor, consider marinating the beef in red wine and Worcestershire sauce for a few hours before cooking.
- Feel free to add carrots or bell peppers to the onion and garlic mixture for additional sweetness and nutrition.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to balance the richness of the beef.
