LONDON BROIL WITH CHERRY-BALSAMIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk wine, vinegar, cherry preserves, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place meat in a shallow glass dish. Pour the marinade over the meat and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, turning several times, for at least 20 minutes or up to 8 hours.
• Remove the meat from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan; add shallot and set aside. Brush a ridged grill pan (see Tip) or heavy skillet with oil; heat over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook for 10 to 12 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness, or until it reaches desired doneness. (It may appear that the meat is burning but don't worry, it will form a pleasant crust.) Transfer the meat to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the meat is cooking, bring the marinade to a boil; cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from the heat; add butter and whisk until melted.
• Slice the meat thinly against the grain. Add any juices on the cutting board to the sauce. Serve the meat with the sauce.
• Ingredient note: London broil is a thicker cut of steak that benefits from the tenderizing effects of a marinade.Tip: A ridged grill pan is great for indoor grilling, but you can use the broiler or, if weather permits, cook the steak on an outdoor grill.

• Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Season the meat with the salt and pepper.
• Combine the vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and bay leaf in a large skillet. Simmer over a low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half and is a syrupy consistency. Remove and discard the garlic and bay leaf.
• Place the meat on the prepared baking sheet and slather with the glaze. Broil, 4 inches from the heat, turning once, to desired doneness, 12 minutes for medium-rare, up to 14 minutes for medium. Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes, then slice very thinly, against the grain. Serve hot.

• Stir together garlic, 3 tablespoons vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and pour into a 1-quart sealable plastic bag.
• Add steak to marinade, turning to coat, and marinate, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 4 hours.
• Bring to room temperature, then remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.
• Trim root ends of onions slightly, leaving them intact, then halve lengthwise and cut halves lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick wedges. Insert 1 wooden pick horizontally through each wedge (to keep it intact while grilling). Whisk together remaining tablespoon vinegar and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl and add onions, tossing gently to coat.
• To cook steak using a charcoal grill:
• Open vents on bottom of grill. Light a large chimney starter of charcoal (80 to 100 briquettes) and pour lit charcoal onto bottom rack, leaving about one quarter of bottom rack free of charcoal and banking remaining coals across rest of bottom rack so that coals are about 3 times higher on opposite side. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above thickest layer of coals for 3 to 4 seconds. 3Sear steak on lightly oiled grill rack over thickest layer of coals, uncovered, 1 minute on each side, then move steak to area over fewer coals and grill, uncovered, turning occasionally and moving to coolest area of grill if browning too quickly, until thermometer inserted horizontally 2 inches into meat registers 120°F, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let stand 10 minutes (steak will continue to cook, reaching medium-rare).
• To cook steak using a gas grill:
• Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes.
• Sear steak on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, 1 minute on each side, then reduce heat to moderate. Grill steak, covered, turning occasionally, until thermometer inserted horizontally 2 inches into meat registers 120°F, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let stand 10 minutes (steak will continue to cook, reaching medium-rare).
• To grill onions by either method:
• While steak is standing, grill onions (covered only if using a gas grill) over moderate heat, turning over once, until tender, about 6 minutes.
• Serve onions with steak; cut steak crosswise into thin slices, holding knife at a 45-degree angle.
