Slice 2 onions into very thin slices and break the slices into separate rings.

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1 tablespoon of paprika powder and sift it.

Preheat sunflower oil to 160 degrees Celsius (338 degrees Fahrenheit).

Coat the onion rings with the flour and paprika mixture.

Add the coated onions into the preheated oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, ensuring the oil temperature remains stable.

Season the fried onions with salt and set them aside.

Melt clarified butter in a cast iron pan over high heat.

Fry the steak in the cast iron pan for at least 1 minute on each side, depending on the thickness of the steak.

Once fried, let the steak rest in a preheated oven at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes.

In the same pan used for the steak, fry some onions until golden brown for the sauce.

Add tomato puree and powdered sugar to the pan and fry for 2 minutes.

Pour in a good amount of red wine and mix everything together, letting the alcohol evaporate.

Add beef broth to the sauce and let it simmer for around 10 minutes to combine flavors.

If a thicker sauce is desired, use a thickening agent like monde to thicken the sauce.
