2 yellow onions, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons fresh coriander sprigs, loosely packed

To make
Classic dish; also goes well with steamed rice. Cooking time: 30 minutes, plus 2 hours for marinating. Notes: You can use a grill pan or broiler instead of a grill. (First fry the onion about 10 inches from the heat, and then the beef about 6 inches from the heat.)
In a large, shallow bowl, whisk together the sugar, pepper, garlic, lemon grass, fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the beef, stir to coat, and refrigerate for 2 hours.Rub the remaining 1 tbsp. l. brush the onion with oil. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat (you can hold your hand 1-2 inches above the grill level for only 3-4 seconds). Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Thread the onion on two 8-inch-diameter metal skewers. Place the onions on the skewers and cook (close the lid on the gas grill) until softened, about 15 minutes, turning the skewers about every 5 minutes.When the onion is half-cooked, place the beef slices on the grill and cook (close the lid of the gas grill), turning once, for 3-5 minutes.Place the beef and onion on a platter and garnish with coriander and peanuts.Note: A nutritional analysis is provided for each serving.
