I really only cook steak a few ways, but I love this recipe so much that 9 times out of 10, I will make it. In fact, when I told my Dad that I was making steak tonight, he knew exactly which recipe I was using.
I love this steak with balsamic sauce so much, I could easily eat all of these steaks... no matter how full I am! As I was licking the plate (yes I did!!!!!!!), I was wishing for a good crusty bread to dip into the sauce.
Katie's Plate-Lick'n Balsamic Steak
4 steaks ( I used flat iron steaks)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
olive oil
1 shallot, diced (optional)
Heat a large non-stick pan on high and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt in the pan. When the salt begins to jump (yep, jump) add in the steaks and cook on medium-high for about 3-4 minutes per side until the inside temperature reaches 145˚F. You can sear the steaks and transfer to the oven if you prefer. Remove the steaks and allow them to rest.
Turn the heat to medium and in the same pan add the butter and a few drops of olive oil to keep the butter from burning. Add in about 1/2 cup balsamic and the optional shallot. Be careful, the balsamic might splatter. Turn the heat up to medium-high. Stir for a few minutes until the balsamic sauce has thickened up to a syrup, about 3-4 minutes, add in the remaining balsamic vinegar.
Serve the steak with noodles, rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. Pour the balsamic sauce over the steak and get ready to lick the plate.
Yum!!!!!!!!!

This looks awesome Kate, thanks for sharing it. Would you reccomend a slightly cheaper cut of steak for this receipe since the beef flavor in those tends to be less? For example, is this something you'd do for a ribeye or filet, or is the flat iron steak best?

Shannon,
I don't think the cut of meat will change the flavor too much since it already has so much taste from the balsamic vinegar. But I got this meat on sale at Walmart for under $5 dollars for 4 smallish pieces.
If you want to use a cheaper meat and give it a lot of flavor, just add brown the meat and remove it from the pan. Make the balsamic sauce and add the meat back into the pan with the balsamic vinegar and cook covered until it reaches 145˚. Kate
Hi Katie! You've got an awesome blog too! I think I may try this soon, my husband loves steak...thanks!
Katie- Why am I just hearing about your blog!?! I really enjoyed reading a big chunk of it last night- yes, I should have been sleeping, but I really was enjoying myself.
It was good to see you yesterday and I hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday season.
by the way, I'm sure it is too late to enter the contest, but I sure would love to get my hands on one of the Kaplan family recipe cards
I made this recipe a few days after you posted this and my family absolutely loved it. I had made extra and the kids fought over the leftovers the next day!
Marisol, I am so glad you liked it and I am thrilled that your kids did too!
