Steak is our favorite, but I wanted something a little different using ingredients I had in the pantry. This one brings smiles to all who try it. —Marie Rizzio, Interlochen, Michigan

Ingredients:
• 2 bacon strips, diced
• 2 beef top sirloin steaks (6 ounces each)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 1-1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon molasses

Directions
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 1-1/2 teaspoons drippings in skillet and 1-1/2 teaspoons drippings in a small bowl. Set bowl aside.

2. Sprinkle steaks with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In skillet, cook steaks over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove and keep warm.

3. Add onion and reserved drippings to the skillet; saute until tender. Add vinegar, molasses and remaining pepper; heat through. Serve onion mixture with steaks; sprinkle with bacon.
