Sirloin Steak with Moroccan Onions

eating lean doesn't mean you have to avoid beef. there are a number of cuts that are low in saturated fat, and one of my favorites for grilling is top sirloin. like all beef, top sirloin is rich with nutrients: it's an excellent source of niacin, vitamin b6, iron and riboflavin. marbling keeps top sirloin moist and flavorful when it's grilled, so it can be cooked with just a sprinkling of seasonings. for the most tender meat, look for a 1-inch piece and don't cook it past medium. while the steak grills, onions are caramelized with robust seasonings for a snappy accompaniment that tastes way more decadent than it is. /sept. 2009 cooking pleasures magazine.
