Help I can't find my favorite recipe

[BlueV8Dakota]

Help I was looking for one of my old back issues of cooking light and can't seem to find the one I need. I already did recipe search on cooking light and it doesn't come up. We absolutely loved spanish style braised steak it was from a fall issue within the last 3 years. Can someone please help. Thanks.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup dry sherry
2 cups thinly sliced onion

drained & cut into 1/2 inch strips
1/4 teaspoon salt
