Preheat your grill to high heat. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper. Rub this mixture generously onto the steaks and let them sit for 15 to 20 minutes to soak up that irresistible flavor.
Drizzle the onion slices with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Grill each side until tender and beautifully charred, about 8 minutes total. Remove from the grill and set asidethese will be your perfect smoky base!
Place the steaks on the scorching grill and cook for about 2 1/2 minutes per side, until perfectly seared. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve the juicy sliced steak over the grilled onions with a fresh lime wedge for that zesty finish that'll have everyone reaching for seconds.
