Grilled Flank Steak with Charred Sweet Onion Relish

Grilled Flank Steak with Charred Sweet Onion Relish

Firing up the grill just to cook steaks seems like a waste of flame, so we decided to use the existing heat to make a flavorful relish to accompany the flank steaks. We grilled onions to give them a nice char that would create a smoky flavor for the relish. We found that skewering the onions made it easier to flip them on the grill. To add brightness to the relish, we used red wine vinegar to accentuate the onions. To make the flank steak more tender and easier to eat, we cut the cooked steak against the grain to shorten the tough, chewy fibers. This recipe for Grilled Flank Steak with Charred Sweet Onion Relish is easy and simple, and is a great way to utilize the heat of the grill.

Serves 4

Spearing the onion rounds with a metal or soaked wooden skewer helps them stay together on the grill.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.
