Equipment

  • small saucepan

Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 2 steaks Ribeye or sirloin steaks Choose high-quality cuts for a juicy and tender experience.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing the natural flavor of the meat.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Essential for enhancing the natural flavor of the meat.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Aids in achieving that perfect sear when cooking the steak.

For the Balsamic Glaze

  • 1/2 cup Balsamic vinegar The star ingredient that adds a rich and tangy depth to the steak.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Balances the acidity of the balsamic for a harmonious glaze.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Adds a fragrant kick that elevates the sauce’s flavor profile.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary Provides an aromatic touch; if using dried, reduce the amount.

For the Heirloom Tomatoes

  • 2 cups Heirloom tomatoes These colorful beauties bring freshness and a burst of sweetness to the dish.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves Offer a refreshing garnish that brightens the presentation.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a small saucepan, mix together the balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and rosemary. Heat over medium until it simmers, cooking for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
  • Generously sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the steaks.
  • In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the steaks to the skillet, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare or until your preferred doneness is achieved.
  • In the last minute of cooking, generously brush the balsamic glaze over the steaks.
  • In a bowl, gently mix the heirloom tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the sliced steaks on plates, topping them with the remaining balsamic glaze and seasoned heirloom tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the dish as a vibrant garnish.

Notes

Let your steaks come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer for doneness, aiming for 130°F for medium-rare.
