This dish combines the rich, savory depth of a heavily peppered London broil with the bright acidity of lime-marinated red onions. The beef is coated in a crust of fresh-ground black pepper and salt, then seared to lock in juices. Meanwhile, thinly sliced red onions soak in a mixture of lime juice and Tabasco, creating a tangy, slightly spicy relish that cuts through the richness of the meat. It’s a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner that feels elegant yet simple. The contrast between the charred, peppery beef and the crisp, citrusy onions makes for a memorable meal. Serve hot with the onions spooned generously over thick slices of the broiled meat.
