GRILLED STEAK AND VIDALIA ONIONS WITH MUSTARD-WORCESTERSHIRE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, thyme and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Let sit at room temperature while you prepare the steak and onions.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling. Heat the grill pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the steaks with canola oil and season well with salt and pepper. Arrange the steaks on the grill pan and let cook until golden brown and charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to medium-rare doneness (130 degrees F internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer), about 4 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and arrange on a serving platter. Loosely tent with foil and let rest while you grill the onions.
• Brush the onions on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Separate the slices into rings and add to a small bowl. Add half of the vinaigrette to the onions and gently toss to coat. Serve the steaks topped with the onions and drizzled with the remaining vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Cut onion top and "backtail" so onion can sit flat. Peel the onion. Using a parking knife cut a hollow cone-like shape into the center of the onion making sure not to go all the way to the bottom. Salt and pepper to the cavity. Place onions on individual squares of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Add the butter, bacon, blue cheese, and thyme to a bowl and mix until well combined. Add large dollops of the butter to each cavity of the onions. Fold the aluminum foil all around the onion, gathering at the top and sealing to create a tent.
• Place on the grill over direct heat and cover the grill. Cook for 30 minutes until onions are soft. Let cool for 5 minutes before opening the foil packet and serving.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 cups bourbon and cook until completely reduced. Add the tomatoes and water, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, excluding the salt, pepper, and steaks, and simmer for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool slightly. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of bourbon.
• Heat grill to high. Season steaks on both sides liberally with salt and pepper and rub some of the spice rub from the onions onto 1 side of the steaks. Place steaks on grill, spice rub side down, and grill until slightly charred and crusty, about 4 to 5 minutes. Brush the steaks with some of the Bourbon-BBQ baste and turn steaks over; reduce heat of the grill to medium-low and cook to medium-rare doneness, about 8 to 9 minutes longer. Brush with the Bourbon-BBQ baste every 2 minutes. Remove from the grill, brush with more of the baste, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Steps:

• 1. Mix brown sugar/vinegar/molasses or Maple syrup and set aside. Cut Vidalia's into 1/2" to 1" wedges. Throw away (or chop up for other uses) the few center pieces. You need a flat surface to stick picks through
• 2. wrap each wedge center to center (around) with a 1/2 piece of bacon, top to bottom corner. Stick pick through bacon and onion. All the way through onion. This holds together while grilling. keeps from falling apart
• 3. Lay out a single layer of wedges/wrapped and put a spoonful of sauce mixture on each onion. This is thick and will soak in good. After each piece has sauce on it. Cover and place in fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Flip container over 1/2 way through if possible so liquid soaks in onions good.
• 4. Preheat grill to 300-350* It is a lot less messy to grill if you use an aluminum pan with holes in it on the grill. (dollar store) or a nonstick grill pad. cook until bacon is done and serve soon as possible. You will LOVE easier than i make it sound. ;o)
