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

Directions

Step 1

Remove the lean sirloin steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

Step 3

In a large skillet, spray non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and start to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar on both sides of the steak.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices.

Step 13

To serve, place a portion of the sliced steak on a plate and top with the caramelized onions.

Step 14

Enjoy your flavorful and healthy low-fat grilled steak with caramelized onions!
