Steps:
- Trim the a thin slice off the side of the whole, unpeeled onion. Set the onion flat on the cut surface for stability. Cut the onion into 4 (1-inch thick) slices. Remove the outer ring of skin from each slice. Drizzle the sliced onion with light colored oil and season both sides with steak seasoning or salt and pepper, to taste. Grill on hot grill or on a nonstick griddle for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until onion is tender and has begun to caramelize.

Flank is a flavorful, lean cut of steak that's sliced thin and served. Make the deep, savory marinade ahead of time and let it work its magic on the meat for up to two days in the fridge.

Steps:
- Generously season steak with salt and pepper. In a large resealable bag, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, brown sugar, and oil. Rub rosemary sprigs between your palms for a few seconds to release oils, then transfer to bag. Add steak, onion, and bell peppers; remove excess air from bag, seal, and shake until marinade evenly coats meat and vegetables. Refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
- Remove steak and vegetables from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling. Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Brush grates with oil. Using tongs, remove steak from bag, allowing excess marinade to drip back in. Grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 8 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil and let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, remove vegetables from marinade and grill, turning a few times, until charred in places and tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Toast bread on grill just until charred and crisp in places, about 1 minute a side. Thinly slice steak; serve with vegetables and bread.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH ONIONS
Plan ahead. It has to marinate for a day; 2 days is better. Serves 4-6, unless you invite my son. Then you should double the onion and marinade ingredients and substitute a London Broil for the flank steak. Source - a friend of a friend who found it in a cookbook 30+ years ago.

Steps:
- Place the flank steak in a sturdy resealable plastic bag. Add the sliced onions, placing them both under and on top of the meat. Mix remaining ingredients to make marinade, and pour over the meat and onions. Seal the bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
- To cook: Heat the grill. Remove the onions from the marinade, place them in an oven-proof dish and bake them (covered) for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Grill the meat, turning once. The original recipe says 2" from something called "hot coals". My gas grill doesn't have "hot coals", but I've heard of them -- Take care not overcook it; Medium is overcooked, IMHO.
- To serve, slice the meat thinly across the grain and top with the baked onions, or at least be honest, and tell guests that the sliced onions are available. Saving them for yourself is not polite.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinating the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, citrus juice, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor. Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Grilling the steak: Grill the steak over high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Be sure to let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
- Make the orange gremolata: While the steak is grilling, make the orange gremolata by combining chopped parsley, orange zest, and garlic. This flavorful condiment will add a bright and citrusy flavor to the steak.
- Serve the steak: Slice the steak against the grain and serve it with the orange gremolata. You can also serve the steak with grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a salad.
Conclusion:
This grilled flank steak with red onion and orange gremolata is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the orange gremolata adds a bright and citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the steak. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
