Sweet and mildly spicy roasted onions take steak to a new flavor level. Make a double batch of the onions (you can cover and refrigerate the extras for up to four days) and serve half with pork chops, such as Pork Chops with Herb Rub (page 196) or on open-face roast beef sandwiches. The steak needs to marinate for 8 hours, so be sure to plan accordingly.
Recipe information
Yield
Serves 4; 3 ounces beef and 1/4 cup onions per serving
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a shallow glass dish, stir together the wine, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or paste until the sugar is dissolved. Add the beef, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, turning occasionally.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a large shallow metal baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 3
Spread the onions in the pan. Drizzle with the oil. Stir to coat. Spread the onions in a single layer.
Step 4
Roast for 30 minutes, or until the onions begin to brown on the edges, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a small bowl.
Step 5
Preheat the broiler. Lightly spray the broiler pan with cooking spray.
Step 6
Stir 1/8 teaspoon salt, remaining 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or paste, and remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar into the onions. Cover to keep warm.
Step 7
Drain the beef, discarding the marinade. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer to the broiler pan.
Step 8
Broil the beef about 6 inches from the heat for 3 minutes on each side, or to the desired doneness. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice the beef. Serve topped with the onion mixture.
