Fry the Steaks

Heat in another frying pan over medium-high heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Put in the frying pan the steaks with the ones you worked (just the ones that fit in) and fry them for about 2 minutes per each side, until they are well cooked or to the level of doneness that you like the most.

Transfer from the frying pan to the other frying pan (where the onions are) the steaks that were cooked and place them over the fried onion rings; then set aside.

The steaks are placed over the onion rings so the flavors mix.

Repeat the same procedure with the steaks that were not fried, it will be necessary to add in the frying pan more olive oil.
