Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless beef steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Begin by preparing the onions. Peel the onions and cut them in half, then slice them thinly lengthwise.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the sliced onions. Stir to coat them with the oil and butter.
Reduce the heat to low, and let the onions cook slowly for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Add the balsamic vinegar to the onions, stir well, and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the vinegar has reduced and the onions are a deep brown color. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the onions are caramelizing, prepare the steak. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then rub it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
To serve, slice the steak thinly against the grain and arrange on a serving platter. Top with the caramelized onions and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if desired.
Serve hot as part of a low-carb meal with your favorite vegetables or salad.
