Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar
- 4 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 medium onion(s), yellow, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1 large vidalia onion(s), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 2 medium red onion(s), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1 tsp table salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/4 pound raw lean flank steak
Directions
-
Heat grill or grill pan to medium.
-
Combine sugar and vinegar in a small bowl. Brush onions with vinegar mixture and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Grill onions until soft and caramelized, turning occasionally, about 45 minutes. (Note: Skewer onions or place them in a grill basket or on foil with slits to prevent them from falling through the grill rack.)
-
Sprinkle steak with remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Place on grill 30 minutes after onions. Cook 15 minutes, turning once, or until medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes and slice thinly against the grain. Yields about 4 ounces of steak and 2/3 cup of onions per serving.
