Grilled Skirt Steak W/ Caramelized Onions

I love caramelized onions. I don’t know how other people make it but my recipe is too easy that I sometimes amaze myself at that realization. Actually, I learned the recipe from my dear Mother-in-Law.

I could eat caramelized onions by itself but most of the times I add it in mashed potatoes. It’s really delicious. Sometimes I use it as a topper for grilled meat like this grilled skirt steak I made for dinner last night.

For the skirt steak, just season both sides with Worcertershire sauce and any steak seasonings from Montreal Steak or other grilling dried herb seasonings. Just let that marinate for a few hours.

For the caramelized onions, slice 2 large onions in flat rounds. Melt 1 stick of butter on a non-stick pan with the sliced onions. Let that whole thing cook in low heat for about an hour or an hour and a half. Add a little bit more butter if needed. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.

That’s all you have to do. The secret is butter, lots of it, and slow cooking in low heat.

Grill the skirt steak, 8 to 10 minutes on each side. Depending on how thick your steak is. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Transfer onto a plate then top with the caramelized onions. To quote Rachael Ray, “YUM-O”.
