*Again, I forgot to take a picture- we had company. This one may sound strange to you but trust me, it was really good and it won over the hubby!*

1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 c coked brwn rice
6 Tb minced parsley
1/2 t salt
4 t pepper
olive oil spray
2 c thinly sliced sweet onions

1/4 c balsamic vinegar

Ina large bowl, mix the beef, rice, 5 Tb parsley, and the salt. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Season the patties evenly with pepper.

Place a skillet over high heat. When hot mist with olive oil spray, and add the patties cook for 2-4 mins per side. Transfer the steaks to a platter and cover to keep warm.

Respray the pan and add the onions and cook for about 5 mins, or until soft. Add the grape juice, and vinegar and return to high heat. Boil for 9-11 mins or until the liquid is reduced by 1/2 cup. Place the steaks on plates and top with onions and sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tb parsley.
