Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine 1/3 cup vinaigrette, cocoa, coffee and pepper in small bowl; stir to combine
thoroughly. Place beef steak and balsamic marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn
steak to coat. Close bag securely; marinate in refrigerator 6 to 24 hours.
2. Cook onion and remaining 2/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette in medium saucepan over
medium heat, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes or until onion is tender and vinaigrette coats
onion. Remove from heat.
3. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on rack of broiler pan so
surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 13 to 18 minutes for medium rare
(145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning once. Carve steak diagonally across the
grain into thin slices. Top with balsamic onions.
