Onion-stuffed Sirloin with Mushroom Saute

This recipe will serve 2 people, so double if your hungry!!!

Ingredients
1/2 of a small onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon margarine or butter (you all know we love butter)
1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 8 oz boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 1/2 inches thick

Mushroom Saute Ingredients
3/4 cup sliced fresh shiitake or other mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon of cornstarch
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon instant beef bouillon granules
1 table spoon of dry red wine (I substituted Jack Daniels for this and it was amazing)

Directions
For stuffing, in a small saucepan cook the onion and garlic in butter until the onion is tender but not brown. Stir in lemon-pepper seasoning and set aside

Make a pocket in the steak by cutting a deep horizontal slit. Spoon the stuffing into the pocket. If necessary, secure opening of the pocket with a wooden toothpick.

To broil - Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 - 5 inches from the heat to desired doneness, turning once (Allow 14 - 18 minutes for rare, 19 - 22 minutes for medium, or 23 - 28 minutes for well done)

Meanwhile, for mushroom sauce, in a small saucepan cook the mushrooms in butter until tender. In a small bowl stir together cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon granules and 1/3 cup of water. Carefully add to the saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Stir in wine or Jack Daniels.
