Ingredients

6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. brown sugar
kosher salt
Black pepper
1 lb. skirt steak
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 5 oz. container of baby arugula (about 6 cups)
1/2 pt. red grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise (1 cup)
1/2 pt. yellow grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise (1 c.)
2 oz. feta, crumbled (1/2 c.)

Instructions

In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Add Balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, until very soft. Season with salt and pepper. Remove to bowl and let cool.
Rub grill pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over high heat. Season skirt steak generously with salt and pepper. Grill steak for 3 minutes per side (6 minutes total) for medium rare. Remove steak to cutting board and let sit for 5 minutes.
In large bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add arugula and tomatoes to vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
Thinly slice steak diagonally across the grain.
