Grilled Steak & Onion Salad

recipe courtesy of Martha Stewart

Ingredients:
2 thick slices crusty break, torn into bite size pieces (about 2 c.)
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. grated parmesan
salt & pepper
1 pound skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
1 red onion, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick rounds
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
5 oz baby or wild arugula

Directions
Preheat oven to 400.  On a baking sheet toss bread with 2 tsp oil and parmesan then season with salt and pepper.  Bake until golden brown, about 7 min. (can use store bought croutons if you prefer)

Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high.  Season steak with salt and pepper.  Drizzle onions with 1 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper.  Grill steak and onions until steak is medium-rare and onions are tender.  About 5 - 7 minute.  Let steak rest about 5 min. before thinly slicing against the grain.

In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar and 2 tbsp oil.  Add arugula and season with salt & pepper. Add onions, steak and croutons and toss to combine.  I like to add fresh parmesan as well for an extra kick.
