Test Kitchen Tips; To save time and avoid dirtying a dish, feel free to skip the draining step after cooking the beef and onions. The sauce will be slightly richer, but sirloin is fairly lean so there shouldn't be much fat in the pan. Wash, dry and clean the vegetables. Cut into small frames and saute in olive oil in large skillet. Add salt and pepper and set aside.
