Grilled steak with onion sauce pairs a grilled cut of beef with onions cooked until soft and savoury. The sauce can vary from one recipe to another, but its gentle sweetness balances the rich, browned flavour of the meat. It is an easy dish to make at home on a grill or in a hot pan.
Serve it hot with roasted or grilled vegetables, a crisp salad, or potatoes; bread is handy for mopping up the sauce. It is a filling, protein-rich main, and beef also provides iron and zinc. For a lighter plate, keep the sauce and added cooking fat modest and add plenty of vegetables.
