Grilled Steak with Sweet Onion Sauce

I don't know what is going on with the weather but I am definitely not complaining. The next 7 days are going to be in the 70's and 80's. I told my husband that the kitchen is closed this week and that he needed to open "Bryan's grill" because that is what we are using all week. What better way to enjoy the nice weather than by grilling some delicious steaks. This is a great grilled steak recipe and it has a wonderful sauce that goes on top of it.  It is a much healthier option to put on top of steak than steak sauce. This steak recipe goes well with some oven roasted broccoli and grilled zucchini and squash.

Grilled Steak with Sweet Onion Sauce
Serves: 4
Adapted by: http://www.kayotic.nl/blog/steak-with-sweet-onion-sauce

Ingredients:
4 - 4oz portions of ribeye steak or steak of choice in your house (we used organic, grassfed ribeye steaks)
1/2 large sweet onion
5 mushrooms
1 cup reduced sodium beef broth
2 teaspoons white whole wheat flour OR all purpose flour
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
black pepper
thyme
salt
butter
steak seasoning
garlic powder

Directions:
-Cut off 1/2 of the onion and dice it.
-Clean the mushrooms and thinly slice each of them.
-Season steaks with steak seasoning, pepper, and garlic powder. Take steaks outside and grill on the grill until the steaks are cooked to your preference. We cook our steaks to medium well.
-In a nonstick skillet or a cast-iron skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the onions. Saute for about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons flour and cook for an additional 1 minute.
-To the skillet, add the beef broth, red wine vinegar, worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, pepper, salt, and brown sugar. You will use the spices as much or as little as you want. You are just seasoning the sauce. Stir all ingredients together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Make sure to stir often.
-Once steaks are done on the grill, bring in and let juices redistribute for about 5 minutes.
-Place a steak on a plate and pour some of the sweet onion sauce on top.
-Serve

Enjoy! :)
