Pepper-Rubbed Steaks with Caramelized Onions

Steak is probably my all-time favorite food. This recipe was probably at the top of my favorites for sauteeing onions. They were very sweet, but it was a nice flavor (4/5)! The only thing I forgot was to buy mushrooms. Mushrooms would have made this even better. I love having mushrooms with my steak. I made this on the stovetop, but you can cook the steak however you prefer--but definitely try the onions!
