Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) filet mignon steaks

  • cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary

  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion slices; cook until soft, then stir in sugar. Continue cooking until onion slices are caramelized; set aside.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for two-zone grilling, heating one side to high and one side to medium; lightly oil the grate.
