Marinated Steak with Feta

This is one of my favorite steak recipes from Betty Crocker.

Mediterranean style marinade and Feta combination give a nice twist to any grilled steak.

Marinade:

1/2 cup Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon

1 tbsp. brown sugar

3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tsp. fried oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Steak:

2 lb beef boneless sirloin steak, about 1 inch thick

2 medium red onions, cut into 1/2-inch slices

1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

chopped fresh parsley

In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all marinade ingredients. Pierce beef with fork several times on both sides. Add beef and onions to marinade, turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove beef from marinade. Reserve marinade.

Cover and grill beef and onions over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes for medium beef doneness, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning once. Discard remaining marinade.

Cut beef across grain into thin slices. Sprinkle beef with feta and parsley. Serve with onion slices.
