Slice the onions into thick rounds and set aside.

Grease a cast-iron grilling pan with oil and heat it until hot.

Add 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke to the pan for flavor.

Wash the beef and pat it dry with paper towels, ensuring it has some fat.

Place the beef in the hot pan without any seasoning initially.

Grill the beef, checking it regularly and ensuring it cooks in its own juices.

Halfway through grilling, sprinkle a little salt on the beef.

Add black pepper and cayenne pepper to the beef, adjusting to taste.

Add one Maggi cube to the beef for flavor.

Add the thickly sliced onions to the pan, ensuring they retain some crunch.

Mix in a little mustard with the meat and onions, adjusting to preference.

Finish grilling until the beef is cooked to desired doneness and onions are slightly tender but not fully wilted.

Plate the grilled meat and onions, ready to serve.
