Buttery, tart and sweet caramelized onions are the perfect topping for a grilled steak. Enjoy with our crispy brussels sprouts that are loaded with favor for a well-rounded meal.
Steak - Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and tenderize with a fork. (Can be done up to 1 day ahead)
Red onions / Brussels sprouts - If prepping day of, heat up oven in Make Step #1 before returning to prep. Prep as directed. Larger brussels sprouts should be quartered. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
Caramelize onions - Heat up a frying pan over medium heat. Add oil and then add onions to heated oil. Saute for ~10 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. If it looks like the onions or pan will burn at any point, just add a splash of water. Finish with balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. Cook for another 2 minutes. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)

Spread brussels sprouts out onto a sheet pan. Cover tightly with foil and then bake for ~6 minutes. Remove foil and toss brussels sprouts with oil, balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard. Roast for another 8 to 10 minutes until crispy. Toss with maple syrup and salt, seasoning with more to taste.
While brussels sprouts bake / roast, heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and then add steak to heated oil. Sear on each side for 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat and cover with foil. Cook for another 2 minutes for medium-rare, another 4 to 5 minutes for medium and then 5 to 7 minutes for well done. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
If onions were pre-caramelized, reheat them up on whatever you cooked the steak in with some water or just pop into the microwave for ~1 minute.
Enjoy steak with onions and brussels sprouts on the side.
