Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 garlic clove, minced; 2 teaspoons sugar; 1 pound flank steak (3/4 inch thick); 1 medium shallot, finely chopped; 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar; 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 1 very large red onion, halved and sliced 1/3 inch thick; 3/4 pound bitter greens such as escarole or frisée or a combination; Equipment: a grill basket

Flank steak is flavorful and juicy when completely unadorned, but it gets added personality from bitter greens, grilled onion, and a lively vinaigrette.

Cooks' note:

Steak and onion can be grilled in a hot lightly oiled 2-burner grill pan over medium-high heat, 9 to 11 minutes.
