Grilled Steak and Onions

Well it's that time of year, burning that grill every chance I get. Tonight we're going to have a nice top sirloin. I like to get my steaks at the local Fareway store. They have a cut they call Top of Iowa, it's a nice thick cut top sirloin and it's trimmed up real nice with practically no fat. It usually weighs in between 1-1/2 to 2 pounds and is always looking real fresh. If you don't care for garlic you should stop right here because tonight we are going to load up on it. First I'm going to mince up about 10 cloves of garlic and rub about 6 of them all over the steak. The rest will go in my red potatoes for garlic smashed. Then I will give the steak a generous coating of fresh ground black pepper. That's it, its ready to grill. I really like grilled onions with my steak so I'm going to take a large yellow onion, peel it and cut about 5 or 6 nice thick slices. Rub these with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a little garlic powder. Now if your coals are ready it's time to cook. I put the baby red potatoes on to boil for garlic smashed potatoes and some fresh steamed broccoli and off to the grill we go. Put the steak on and start the onions at the same time. Grill your steak the way you like it and leave the onions until they get some real nice color before you turn them. About 15 minutes total on the steak gave me a real nice rare to medium rare. Put your steak up on a platter and garnish it nicely with the grilled onions, maybe some chopped fresh chives and a few green onion flowers. Smash those potatoes real quick with some more garlic, milk, butter and a little sea salt and pepper to taste.....time to eat. Enjoy!!!
