Grill or broil 8 minutes each side or until steak is medium rare or desired degree of doneness. remove steak from grill or broiler, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Place onion slices on grill rack, grill 4 minutes on each side basting occasionally. Alternatively you can broil the onions of pan fry them. Place rolls on grill rack, cut side down, grill 2 minutes minutes or broil until lightly browned.
- Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices. Spread 2 tablespoons dressing on bottom half of each roll. Divide steak, tomato and onion evenly among bottom halves of rolls. Top with top halves or rolls.
Vialia onions taste better eaten raw and spanish or yellow onions taste better when cooked. Try making onion soup with vadalia onions and you’ll see what I mean. Of course you can do what ever you want they’re your taste buds.
