Zwiebelrostbraten is one of the most significant German dishes. Fresh fried onions along with steak and Cheese Spätzle go incredibly well together and satisfy the most demanding taste buds! I would encourage you to make also the side dishes from scratch because those make the dish!
Preheat the sunflower oil in a small pot to 170°C (338°F) . Make sure that the temperature doesn't rise.
In the meantime cut the onions into thin slices.
Mix flour and paprika powder in a small bowl.
Right before frying, mix the onion rings with the flour paprika powder mixture.
Fry the onions until golden brown (for 2-3 minutes).

Preheat the oven to 100°C (212°F)
Take a cast iron skillet and let the clarified butter melt on high heat.
Fry the steak from each side for 1 minute. Don't forget about the sides!
Take the meat out and put it in the oven for 20 minutes.
Prepare the sauce
In the meantime melt the butter in the same skillet and chop the onion.
Fry the onion until golden brown.
Add the tomato puree and cook them for 2 minutes.
Add wine and let it cook on medium heat for another 2-3 minutes.
Add beef fond and let the sauce simmer for around 10 minutes.
If you like thick sauces add mondamin or a flour-water mixture to thicken the sauce.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and sugar, if necessary.
