Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Lean beef steak (like sirloin or tenderloin)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Large onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Place the beef steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Turn the steak a few times to ensure it is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
While the grill is heating, prepare the caramelized onions. In a large non-stick skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
Add the broth to the onions, stirring to deglaze the pan and incorporate any browned bits. Continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and caramelized, about 20 to 25 more minutes. Stir in honey and cook for an additional minute.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the heated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
To serve, slice the steak against the grain and top with the caramelized onions.
Pair the dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to keep the meal heart-healthy.
