Ingredients:

12 oz steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced (optional but recommended)

1 teaspoon crushed black pepper

1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme (optional but classic)

 

Instructions:

1. Mix Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together:

Balsamic vinegar

Soy sauce

Olive oil

Garlic, black pepper, and herbs if using

2. Marinate the Steak:

Place steak in a dish or resealable bag.

Pour marinade over it and coat thoroughly.

Cover or seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours (not overnight — too long can break down the meat texture due to the vinegar).

3. Cook the Steak:

Remove from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat a skillet or grill pan until very hot.

Sear steak 2–4 minutes per side depending on thickness.

Optional Gordon Ramsay touch: Baste with butter, garlic cloves, and rosemary in the last minute.

4. Rest & Serve:

Rest the steak for 5 minutes after cooking.

Slice and serve with juices or a sprinkle of sea salt.
