Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef top sirloin or round steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

  1. With a meat fork, pierce holes in both sides of steaks. Place in a shallow dish. Add the onion, lemon juice, oil, garlic salt, thyme, oregano, celery salt and pepper. Turn to coat; cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat broiler. Drain steaks, discarding marinade; place steaks on a broiler pan. Broil 6 in. from the heat 6-8 minutes. Brush with butter and turn. Broil until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), about 6 minutes longer.
