Flank Steak with Caramelized Onions and Balsamic Glaze
by rebeccamahoney
The reduced balsamic vinegar sauce gives the flank steak a unique flavor that pairs perfectly with the caramelized onions. Both the steak and onions contribute a hefty dose of potassium to this entrée--766 milligrams in each serving. Serve with steamed broccoli or asparagus, and drizzle some of the glaze over the vegetable.

INGREDIENTS
- 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 cups onion ; vertically sliced (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt ; divided
- 1 pound flank steak ; trimmed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small, heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and sauté 10 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt; sauté 18 minutes or until onions are golden brown. Remove from heat.
Preheat broiler.
Sprinkle steak with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and thyme. Place steak on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Cutsteak diagonally across grain into thin slices. Serve steak over onions; drizzle with balsamic glaze.
NOTES
Wine note: Steak and caramelized onions are fabulous partners for numerous red wines. But the balsamic vinegar glaze presents a bit of a challenge since vinegar can make wine taste sharp. One variety stands up especially well to vinegar: syrah (also known as shiraz). There are many great syrah/shirazes available
