Instructions
- Slice thin your top sirloin steak (about ¼” in thickness). Pound flatter if needed.
- Add the steak to a bowl along with seasoning and oil. Mix together thoroughly until well coated.
- Add to a trompo or skewer the steak. Stack on top of each steak until you reach the end of the skewer. Add some sliced onions to the base and then set to the side.

Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
