1 large white onion, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds

3 jalapeno peppers
3 large basil leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, plus some for drizzling




1. Coat onion slices, asparagus, tomatoes and jalapenos in 2
tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and add to the hot
grill. Cook for 4 minutes on each side and remove from the grill. Set
asparagus aside and keep warm while preparing salsa.

2. To make salsa, remove charred loose rings from the onion rounds and
place in the blender. Remove and the skins and seeds from the tomatoes
and add remaining tomato to the blender. Remove and discard the skin
and the seeds from the jalapenos. Mince the jalapenos and add to the
blender. Add the basil leaves, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and
pulse until chunky. Reserve until serving.

3. Season steaks with salt, pepper and olive oil and place on the
hottest part of the grill. Toss the mushroom caps in 2 tablespoons
olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place
the mushrooms on the heat with smaller mushrooms around the edges of
the grill. Cook the steak for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare,
8 minutes on each side for well done. Cook the portobellos for 2
minutes on each side, the shiitakes for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

4. Slice the steak and portobellos on a bias and place on a platter
with the grilled asparagus, shiitakes and tomato salsa. Drizzle with
extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar before serving.
