I made this recipe for supper and was extremely disappointed. After hearing about its rave reviews, I was disappointed in the flavor. Maybe I did not use the correct onions, but mine did not look like the ones in the picture, they were crunchy, and I cooked them over 10 minutes.

I thought the parmesan peppercorn sauce was absolutely fabulous. It was the perfect flavor to go with the steak. My family doesn't care to eat onions WITH their steak, but I still cook the steak with onions because I think it creates a great flavor.

I thought this recipe was excellent. I used a Texas 1015 sweet onion and it melted in my mouth. My brother who is very picky loved this.

When I first saw this recipe I couldn't wait to make it. Unfortunately, when made I was let down. I thought it was a little on the bland side.

This was QUICK and EASY to make. My husband and I thought that it was really good, and I will make this again. The only thing is that I seasoned the meat with salt, pepper and Seasons All then put it in the plastic bag to marinate in the Italian dressing for 30 minutes.

My friend and I are watching what we eat. I made this recipe and we loved it. There was enough for three with one steak. It was easy and I was able to prepare everything in advance.

I made this for my husband, a very picky eater, and he loved it. I served the warm spinach salad and sweet and white potato spears with it, and he loved it. I added some garlic while cooking the onions, and that added a nice flavor. We are usually "steak purists" (steaks grilled rare - medium rare with nothing more than a bit of crushed black pepper, and no steak sauce) but this was a nice change of pace.

This was a fantastically easy and very impressive meal. Very big hit with the entire family. Will do again when we have company.
