Ingredients

• 2 pounds strip steak (about 1 inch thick)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the steaks generously on both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes while you prepare the onions.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Allow the onions to cook slowly for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium-low if they start to brown too quickly.

Step 5

Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

While the onions are finishing, brush the other tablespoon of olive oil over the steaks.

Step 7

Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over both sides of the steaks.

Step 8

Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until you've reached your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check; for medium-rare, it should read 135°F (57°C).

Step 9

Once done, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the steak against the grain, top with the caramelized onions, and serve immediately.
