INGREDIENTS

Two - 3 1/2 to 4 pound beef sirloin steaks, cut 3 inches thick, excess fat removed
1/2 pound plus 2 tablespoons butter
2 cups finely chopped scallions or 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dry rosemary or oregano leaves, or combination of both
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons salt

TO MAKE THE SAUCE - Melt 1/2 pound of the butter over medium heat and in it saute the scallions or onions, stirring them often, for 10 minutes, or until they are soft but not brown. Add the rosemary and/or oregano, the wine, vinegar, pepper and salt. Stirring constantly, bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat, correct the seasonings and add the remaining butter.

Broil the steaks over hot coals until done to taste - about 15 minutes on each side for rare steaks.

To serve, carve the steaks and pour the sauce over the slices.
