Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 medium-sized grass-fed sirloin steaks
Marinades and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) Italian dressing
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Garnish:
- 2 cups mixed diced or julienne vegetables (carrots, broccoli, or your choice)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a robust marinade by whisking balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Immerse steak pieces thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring complete coverage. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate overnight for intensified flavors.
- Heat oven to 400°F, preparing for a high-heat roasting method.
- Select a large oven-safe skillet and preheat over medium-high heat until surface is scorching hot.
- Carefully place marinated steaks into the skillet, searing each side for 2-3 minutes to develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Arrange seasoned vegetables around the seared steaks within the same skillet, distributing them evenly.
- Transfer the entire skillet into the preheated oven, roasting for 12-15 minutes to achieve medium-rare doneness. Modify cooking duration based on preferred meat temperature.
- Extract skillet from oven and allow steak and vegetables to rest for 3-4 minutes, enabling juices to redistribute.
- Finish the dish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley and optionally drizzling additional balsamic glaze for enhanced flavor complexity.
Notes
- Marinating overnight intensifies the depth of flavor, allowing balsamic and herbs to fully penetrate the meat.
- Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness, targeting 135°F for medium-rare to prevent overcooking.
- Choose high-quality balsamic vinegar with rich, complex notes to elevate the overall dish’s taste profile.
- For gluten-free adaptation, ensure balsamic vinegar is certified gluten-free and replace any potential wheat-based ingredients.
