Remove steak from marinade; pour into small grill proof pan and add onion pieces, stirring to coat.
Place steak and onions on grill and cook to choice, stirring onions and brushing steak with some of the marinade. Once steak is done, remove from grill and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Slice rolls, brush with marinade and grill rolls to put a crisp on them.
