Greek Style Steak Topped with Feta and Red Onion

Prep: 10 minutes   Marinate: 8 hours   Grill: 20 minutes

Steak is one of my all time favorite dinners; although I try to limit myself on eating red meat… I just cannot give it up entirely! This recipe gives your steak a little flair with a lot of mouth watering flavors. It also gives our men the chance to turn on the grill and create a wonderfully tasty dish for the family. So mix up that Greek marinade, turn on the grill, and let the aroma fill the air! Enjoy!!

Ingredients
 2-pound beef boneless sirloin steak-about 1 inch thick
2 medium red onions- cut into ½ inch slices
1 package of feta cheese
Chopped fresh parsley
Greek Marinate
o       ½ cup beef broth
o       1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
o       3 tablespoon EVOO
o       1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
o       ½ teaspoon salt
o       ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
o       2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

·        The pictures shown is a double batch of marinade

The Process

1. Make Greek marinade in a shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable plastic bag.

2. Pierce beef with fork several times on both sides. Add the beef and onions to marinade and coat both sides.

3. Cover dish or seal bag and place it in the refrigerator, turning the beef occasionally, for at least 8 hours and not to exceed 24.

4. Remove the beef and onions from the marinade and place on the grill over a medium heat for 15-20 minutes; for a medium doneness. Brush the extra marinade over the beef occasionally and only turn your beef ONCE.  Grill onions for about 3 minutes on each side.


5. Once the beef and onions are cooked to your liking, cut the beef across the grain into thin slices. Sprinkle beef with feta cheese and parsley, serve with your onion slices.
