Grilled Steak With Charred Sweet Onions Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH STICKY BARBECUE ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• For the sticky barbecue onions: Heat a cast-iron skillet over direct heat. Melt the butter. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook until they begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, mustard, sugar, cayenne, cumin and paprika in a small bowl (see Cook's Note). Add the sauce to the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces and begins to get sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. Move over indirect heat to keep warm while you cook your steak.
• For the steak: Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper on both sides and bring to room temperature. Drizzle the steak with the oil and sprinkle with the oregano and paprika on both sides. Place the steak over direct heat and cook until it gets a nice char, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Add a splash of oil, a pinch of salt and some pepper to a cutting board. Place the steak on the seasoned oil on the cutting board, flip and rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve topped with the onions.
• (Alternatively, you can cook the onions over medium-high heat on a stovetop, and the steak in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat on a stovetop.)

GRILLED STEAK AND VIDALIA ONIONS WITH MUSTARD-WORCESTERSHIRE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the steak and onions.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling. Heat the grill pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the steaks with canola oil and season well with salt and pepper. Arrange the steaks on the grill pan and let cook until golden brown and charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to medium-rare doneness (130 degrees F internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer), about 4 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and arrange on a serving platter. Loosely tent with foil and let rest while you grill the onions.
• Brush the onions on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Separate the slices into rings and add to a small bowl. Add half of the vinaigrette to the onions and gently toss to coat. Serve the steaks topped with the onions and drizzled with the remaining vinaigrette.

Refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., In a large bowl, toss remaining vegetables with 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade. Grill red onions and peppers, covered, over medium heat, 4-6 minutes on each side or until tender. Grill green onions 1-2 minutes on each side or until tender., Drain beef, discarding marinade in bag. Grill, covered, over medium heat 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°); baste with remaining marinade during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Let steak stand 5 minutes., Chop vegetables into bite-size pieces; transfer to a large bowl. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices; add to vegetables and toss to combine.

GRILLED STEAK AND MIXED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Season steaks on all sides with 2 tsp. kosher salt and 2 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Grill steaks until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F, 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Meanwhile, grill sweet peppers, turning often, until lightly charred and softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with foil. Grill shishitos, turning often, until lightly charred and softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to platter with sweet peppers and cover with foil. Let rest 10 minutes. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil, then season with 1/2 tsp. kosher salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper and toss to combine.
• Transfer sliced steak to platter alongside peppers. Drizzle with oil, then season with sea salt and pepper.
