Pan Fried Steaks With Balsamic Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Generously sprinkle salt and pepper all over steaks, then let steaks rest uncovered for 15 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, mince the shallots.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add steaks and cook until done to taste, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare and a little longer for medium-rare or medium. (Bone-in steaks take a few minutes longer to cook through than boneless.) If the pan begins to smoke or burn, lower the heat. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest while you prepare the sauce.
• Add shallots to the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add brandy to the skillet and use a long-handled match or igniter to set the brandy on fire. (Stand back when you do this.) Let flames die out, then add red wine and cook until reduced and syrupy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add stock and boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the chives. Serve steaks and sauce immediately with watercress.

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat for 2 minutes, or until very hot. Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place steaks in hot skillet and immediately turn down the heat to medium high. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn steaks and cook for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your tastes. Remove steaks from skillet to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Remove skillet from heat. Quickly saute the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes in the skillet using residual heat. Return skillet to medium low heat and add Marsala and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and reduce for 3 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and whisk in butter and rosemary. Serve sauce over steaks.

Steps:

• Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add balsamic vinegar and red wine. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
• Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put coarse (Kosher) salt in iron skillet.
• Heat skillet over high heat.
• When salt begins to sizzle or jump, place steaks in pan.
• Sear until crusty for about 3 minutes.
• Turn steaks over and sear again for about 3-4 minutes (for rare).
• Add another minute or two to desired doneness.
• Remove steaks to platter; keep warm.
• Add chopped onion to pan; stir for about 30 seconds.
• Add balsamic vinegar; boil until reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Add 3 Tbsps butter; swirl to melt.
• Add black pepper.
• Pour glaze over warm steaks and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Season the filets with salt and pepper on both sides. Let the filet mignon rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. While the steaks are resting prepare the Balsamic Teriyaki Sauce.
• In a sauce pan, melt the butter until bubbling. Add shallots and garlic; cook for 3 minutes or until the aromatics are soft and sweet (watch to make sure you don't burn the shallots or garlic). Add the balsamic vinegar; bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the temperature. Simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce is reduced in half. The balsamic should be thick, glossy and coat the back of a spoon.
• Add the sugar, broth, soy sauce and mirin. Stir well and bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, immediately turn the heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat. Place the steak filets in the frying pan, not touching. Cook for 2 minutes, turn the steaks over and cook an additional minute.
• Transfer the steaks to an ungreased baking sheet; place in oven. Cook for 4-6 minutes; depending on desired degree of doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature of the filet mignon should read 140°F-150°F. Remove to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with balsamic teriyaki poured over the steaks.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Add onions & salt and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out skillet with paper towels.
• Add remaining oil to skillet & adjust flame to medium high.
• Pat steaks dry & add to oil. Leave them alone for for 4-5 minutes then flip & cook other side 3-4 minutes. Remove & wrap tightly in foil.
• Discard any remaining fat in skillet, return onions to pan & reduce temp to medium. Add garlic & cook 30 seconds.
• Add 1/2 cup vinegar, rosemary and brown sugar and cook, scraping up browned bits, until thick & syrupy, about 2 minutes.
• Unwrap steak & pour any accumulated juices in skillet along with remaining vinegar. Salt & pepper to taste.
• Slice steaks crosswise in 1/4 slices & serve topped with onions & sauce.

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak. Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.
• Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak. Repeat with the remaining steak. Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Pat steak dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread 1 teaspoon sesame seeds evenly on one side of steak.
• In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until it begins to smoke and add steak, sesame-seed-side down. Spread remaining teaspoon sesame seeds on top of steak. Cook steak 1 1/2 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat and transfer with a slotted spatula to a small platter. Keep steak warm.
• Pour off almost all fat from skillet and add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook garlic mixture over moderate heat, stirring, 10 seconds and add Sherry. Boil mixture until almost all liquid is evaporated and remove skillet from heat. Add soy sauce, vinegar, and honey and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add butter and stir over low heat until incorporated. Spoon glaze over steak.
