===Ingredients===
  * 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for rubbing
  * 4 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  * 4 garlic cloves, minced
  * 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
  * 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  * 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  * 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  * 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  * 1/2 cup chicken stock
  * 3 tablespoons honey
  * 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  * Six 1/2-pound strip steaks
  * 2 large sweet onions, sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
  * Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

===Directions===
  - Light a grill. In a medium saucepan, heat the 1/4 cup of oil. Add the shallots, garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper and cilantro and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the hoisin, soy sauce and chicken stock, raise the heat to moderately high and boil until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until blended; keep warm.
  - Generously rub the steaks and onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks over high heat for 4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes. Grill the onions for 4 minutes per side, or until charred. Transfer the onions to a platter.
  - Thickly slice the steaks and arrange on the platter. Serve with the steak sauce.
