Recipe View 8 mins Create Balsamic Glaze (8 minutes): Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour balsamic vinegar and dry red wine into the skillet. Cover and cook for 4 minutes. Flip steaks and baste with the sauce; cover and cook for 4 minutes longer, or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended).

Recipe View 3 mins Rest and Serve (3 minutes): Remove steaks from the skillet and place them on two warmed plates. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the rich balsamic glaze over each steak. Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving immediately.

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking.
A meat thermometer is your best friend for achieving the perfect level of doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-140°F for medium.
If the balsamic glaze becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water or beef broth to thin it out.
Pair this dish with a bold red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot, to complement the richness of the steak and glaze.
