Steps:

• If marinating the steak, place it in a casserole dish. Pour the Steak Marinade over the steak and turn to coat completely. Cover and marinate for a few hours or overnight.

Season the steak with salt and black pepper. Grill the steak to the desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes for medium rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 130 degrees F). Place the meat on a cutting board and allow to rest at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice the onions thinly into half moons. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1/2 cup of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring, until softened. Turn the heat down to medium and continue to cook the onions until they begin to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
