Steakhouse Cuts and Bacon-Wrapped Onions
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 ½ lb boneless grilling steaks (such as ribeye, tenderloin, or New York strip)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Steps
- Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high; preheat oven to 400°F. Cut onion in half vertically, then cut each half into 6 (½-inch-thick) wedges. Cut bacon slices into thirds.
- Wrap 1 piece bacon around each onion wedge; arrange on baking sheet (wash hands). Bake 20–25 minutes until bacon is crisp and onions are tender.
- Meanwhile, season both sides of steak with salt and pepper; place steaks on grill (wash hands). Grill 4–5 minutes on each side until steaks are 125°F (for medium rare; warm red center), 130°F (for medium; warm pink center), or up to 170°F (for well done). Transfer steaks to cutting board and let stand 5–10 minutes before slicing; temperature will rise 5–10°F during this time.
- Top steaks with onions, then drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve.
