    Ingredients

    • ⅓ cup snipped fresh sage or 4 tsp. dried sage, crushed

    • 1 ½ teaspoon coarse salt

    • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin

    • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

    • 2 medium red onions

    • 4 8 ounce beef T-bone steaks, cut 1 inch thick

    • 1 recipe Sweet Pepper Salsa

    Sweet Pepper Salsa

    • 1 medium red sweet pepper, seeded and finely chopped (3/4 cup)

    • ½ cup finely chopped papaya

    • ½ cup snipped fresh cilantro

    • ¼ cup finely chopped jicama

    • 2 tablespoon lime juice

    • 1 small fresh habanero chile pepper or 1 medium fresh jalapeno chile pepper, finely chopped

    • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    Directions

    1. For rub, in a small bowl combine the sage, salt, cumin, and red pepper; set aside. Peel onions; halve and very thinly slice with a mandoline or sharp knife. Place onions in a grill basket directly over medium heat. Grill about 15 minutes or until browned and crisp, rearranging and turning once. Remove onions and set aside.

    2. Meanwhile, trim fat from steaks. Sprinkle rub evenly over both sides of steaks; pat in with your hands.

    3. Place steaks on the rack of the grill directly over medium heat. Grill to desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling. (Allow 11 to 15 minutes for medium-rare doneness [145 degrees F] or 14 to 18 minutes for medium doneness [160 degrees F].) Serve with grilled onions and Sweet Pepper Salsa. Makes 4 servings.
