Steak Salad with Arugula, Caramelized Onions, Lemon and Salt

So I mentioned I was in Chicago. The Beef It’s What’s For Dinner people (the beef checkoff) invited some bloggers to Chicago for Live Well 2013, a workshop centered around cooking, parenting and nutrition, and where beef can fit into all 3 in 2013.
