Some things just go together. Salt and pepper, Fred and Ginger, movies and popcorn, ninjas and pirates.
Ok, maybe that last one is more of a feud than a pairing.
But recently we discovered a food pairing so delicious, I don’t know why these two aren’t as inseparable as salt and pepper—- Steak and grilled onion.
Ohhhhhh, its SO good. I mean, at restaurants steak sauce is generally offered, but I really think there should always be grilled onion. Try it the next time you grill, and I think you’ll be hooked. Choose a very mild or sweet onion, like vidalias, and cut it in half, then quarter. Place right on the grill when you’re cooking the second side of the steak (or earlier, if its a thin cut – you want some nice charred edges and caramelization of the onion). Just be careful when you turn the onions over to not let the pieces slide though the grill into the fire.
If you cooked the onion long enough, it should be very mellow with just a little bite. Grab a big bite of the onion and the steak together.
Deeeeeeevooooooooooooour.
Ah, I love the grilling time of year.
Yep, Tim’s pointing at you. What are some of your favorite food pairings? Tell me about it in the comments! :)
So summery and delicious looking!
YUM!!!
I just had a delicious salad with egg, avocado and grilled tilapia. The extra fun bit was chunks of ruby red grapefruit with a grapefruit vinagrette dressing….all made by the boypiece :)
yum!
If you like spicy, I love grilled jalapenos, done just about the same way you're grillin' that onion! I love them with grilled meat in a burrito, or just with grilled meat :)
Thanks Becky and Danielle! :)
Tsuki – wow, that salad sounds amaaaaaaaaazing! Definitely unique and fresh!
Rebecca – ooh, I love spicy, but I've never had grilled jalapenos – we may have to try that next time – thanks!! :)
this sounds so delicious. i'm definitely getting in the mood for summer and grilling!
Looks so good – grilling season is the best. I'm lucky to have a resident master griller on hand as well :) My absolute favorite summer recipe is grilled portabellas with an artichoke puree and roasted corn/tomato/basil salsa… it's sooo good, especially when everything's in season!
Thanks, Stefanie! :)
And wow, that sounds absolutely scrumptious, Katrina!! I simply love portabellas.
