tried red onions and mini bella mushrooms tonight i think the red onion is a little to powerful unless i put to much on that is. gonna try sweet onions and mini bellas next time i have some steak
it's probly hard to find much variety in mushrooms if ur shopping at the normal white ppl's grocery store. bellas and buttons are the only choices i've seen. if u have any asian enclaves around u, there will be markets there where u can try a bunch of other mushrooms like oyster, shiitake, king trumpet, enoki, wood ear.. they all have diff textures and tastes so u could experiment to find what u like.
i'd use sweet onions as a raw component. if u think red onions are strong, try cooking it a bit longer, they should taste better imo. and the darker color always makes me hypothesize that its healthier.
and btw, onion/mushroom is a very western pairing to steak. u might think of other veges, but if this is comfy for u, i'd suggest trying oyster sauce with it. go surf n turf
