Steak with Carmelized Onions

These carmelized onions are delicious on a grilled steak or as a side dish alone. I love the balsamic flavor - yum! I adapted this recipe from one of Melody A's recipes (a friend of Erin's). It is definitely a fun twist on steak and potato night! *side note... I know my steak turned out looking like a pork chop but I promise it is a steak! I tried cooking it in a skillet... not a good idea at all! If you don't have a bbq (or don't feel like firing it up), cook your steak under the broiler. It is delicious like that!
