Sweet Onion–Marinated Skirt Steak - Warm Winter Grilling Series

Winter doesn't have to mean the end of outdoor grilling. In fact, with the Warm Winter Grilling Series and this Sweet Onion-Marinated Skirt Steak recipe, it can be even better! The steak is marinated in a sweet and savory combination of sweet onions, brown sugar, white vinegar, and olive oil. The acidity of the white vinegar balances out the onion's bite while emphasizing its sweetness, resulting in the perfect marinade. Grill it over direct heat until it's cooked to your desired doneness, and enjoy!

Simple and succulent, this recipe is ideal for wintertime because it can be prepped and cooked in just 30 minutes. Generously season the steak with salt and pepper and then marinate for at least 20 minutes. Grill over medium-high heat to get that gorgeous char, browning, and caramelization from the brown sugar. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing, so all the tender juices aren't left on the cutting board. Serve with fresh chives and sea salt for a heart and body-warming meal perfect for the colder weather.

This is the Warm Winter Grilling Series!
