Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef steaks
- 2 large onions
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Begin by preparing the onions. Peel and slice the onions into thin rings.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions. Stir occasionally and allow them to cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are soft and golden-brown.
Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and add the balsamic vinegar. Stir well and let them cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the onions are well caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Pat the beef steaks dry with paper towels and rub them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the steaks evenly with the spice mixture on both sides.
Place the steaks on the grill or grill pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until your desired doneness is achieved.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled steaks topped with a generous amount of caramelized onions.
