Steak is sexy. Yes. It is. There’s nothing like a perfectly cooked piece of melt in your mouth steak. For me that means medium to medium -rare. Other than overcooked pasta there is nothing worse than a piece of overcooked meat. If I wanted beef jerky I would have gotten beef jerky. Amiright? I happen to adore beef jerky just not when I’m craving a melt in your mouth steak.

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE Steak with Shallot, Butter & Balsamic Sauce: 

  1. Preheat grill.
  2. Season steak with salt/pepper on both sides.
  3. For a MEDIUM steak, place steak onto hot grill and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side OR until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Remove steak from grill and allow steak to rest prior to slicing. 
  4. WHILE steak is resting, into a medium sauté pan add oil, butter. Heat over medium heat. When melted add shallot and reduce heat to low. Cook for approximately 1 minute just to soften. Add balsamic vinegar. Allow to reduce slightly.

TIP: The sauce is so incredible you won’t want to miss a drop. Add a baguette to your grocery list to help with that beautiful sauce.

    Okay, I think I could totally conquer my grill problems with an infrared grill—that’s awesome! There’s a reason Mr. Fuji is called the Grill Master at our house…LOL! Okay, I LOVE a good steak, but I have to disagree with you…it’s all about the medium-rare baby! 😉 And now thanks to you, I’m going to be craving steak all day. Sigh. XO

    Yes, I need to get one of these grills and make this dish! The sauce sounds incredible.

    My friend has an infrared grill and he said it’s awesome! This steak sounds wonderful….I actually have a flank thawing in my fridge right now. The shallot butter with the balsamic sounds to die for!

    Okay that infrared grill is too bloody cool! I could possibly show my dad up with one of those babies 😀 Gorgeous flank steak darlin’.

    You can do it, Paula – I can foresee you becoming master of that grill. I adore grilling and often take over our bbq in the summertime (my husband has given up trying to wrestle me away from it). This steak looks so beautifully cooked and I can imagine it would melt in my mouth.

  15. Chris says

    Here via SippitySup’s tweet. Nice steak. Those infrared attachments are also the easiest was to char chiles for peeling. The get evenly charred in no time flat.

    Oh, we love steak at our house! But because it’s so expensive I frequently buy flank steak or London broil as a cheap alternative. This is exactly the kind of recipe I would try.
