Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean sirloin steak
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 Large yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Remove the lean sirloin steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet, spray non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and start to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.
Add the sugar and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the onions, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until deeply caramelized. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the steak dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar on both sides of the steak.
Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness, for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time to your preferred doneness.
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices.
To serve, place a portion of the sliced steak on a plate and top with the caramelized onions.
Enjoy your flavorful and healthy low-fat grilled steak with caramelized onions!
