"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Steaks and onion


Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 tbl. Dried thyme leaves
1 ½ tsp. kosher salt
1 ½ tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
3 (1-inch thick) boneless sirloin steaks, each about 1-¼ pounds, trimmed of excess fat
3 large red onions (about 2-1/4 pounds total)
3 to 4 tbl. Olive oil for brushing on onions, plus extra for greasing grill rack
4 to 6 metal skewers or wooden skewers (soaked for 30 minutes in water)

Directions:
Directions:
Mix together, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Use half of the seasoning mixture to rub on both sides of each steak. Peel onions; then halve lengthwise and cut each half into ¾ inch wedges going thru the root ends. Divide wedges and place on skewers. Place olive oil in a small bowl, then brush onion wedges on all sides with it. Sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture over both sides of onions.

When ready to cook, oil a grill rack and arrange 4 to 5 inches from heat source. Prepare grill for a hot (high temperature) fire. When grill is ready, grill skewered onions, turning often, until charred around the edges and tender. Onions will take about 20 minutes. When done, remove from grill and cover loosely with foil. After onions have been on grill 10 minutes, add steaks. Grill steaks until lightly charred outside and pink inside, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium rare. (Internal temperature should be about 145 degrees.)

Halve each steak and arrange on a serving platter surrounded by onions. Top each steak with a generous dollop of blue cheese butter and sprinkle with remaining chives. Serve warm.
