Ingredients
- 2 pieces (each about 6 oz) Sirloin steak
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Start by taking the sirloin steaks out of the fridge and let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
While the steaks are resting, peel and thinly slice the onions.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions and stir to coat them in the oil.
Step 4
Continue to cook the onions for approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low if they start to brown too quickly. You want them to caramelize slowly. They should be soft and golden brown when done.
Step 5
Once the onions are caramelized, add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
Step 6
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of the steaks with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 8
Season the steaks with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
Step 9
Place steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness.
Step 10
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute within the meat.
Step 11
To serve, slice the steaks against the grain, top with the caramelized onions, and sprinkle fresh thyme over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, low sodium meal.
