Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) beef sirloin steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by preparing the caramelized onions. Thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking the onions, add the balsamic vinegar and fresh thyme, mixing well. Set the caramelized onions aside.
While the onions are cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the beef sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season steaks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled steaks topped with the caramelized onions. Enjoy this savory Whole30 dish with a side of your choice.
