  • 2. Heat your stove top grill** till smoking hot, spray some olive oil on the grill and grill the steak 3-5 min on each side for well done, or less if you like it rare.
  • 3. Remove and let it rest in a foil wrap for 10 min before serving.
  • 4. Meanwhile, heat a small nonstick pan, spray with olive oil. Add the onions to the pan and saute on high heat till they caramelize a little.
  • 5. Add the capers, a pinch of salt, the sugar and saute for couple of min. Remove.

Hints:
* If you have high sodium or concentrated soy sauce, then make sure to dilute it a bit with couple of tbsp of water.
** If you do not have a stop-top grill, you can also use a iron skillet. Just make sure it is smoking hot, so that the beef will cook real fast.
