Instructions

1. Prepare the Skillet:

   • Place a generous amount of coarse (Kosher) salt in an iron skillet. This creates a savory crust on the steaks that enhances their flavor and texture. 🔥

2. Heat the Skillet:

   • Set the skillet over high heat. Wait until the salt starts to sizzle and jump around in the pan. This means the skillet is hot enough for searing the steaks. 🌡️

3. Sear the Steaks:

   • Once the skillet is ready, place the filet of beef steaks directly onto the hot salt. Sear them for about 3 minutes, allowing a crust to form. This crust is key to locking in the juices and flavors. 🍖

4. Flip and Sear Again:

   • Turn the steaks over and sear for another 3-4 minutes for a rare doneness. If you prefer your steak more done, add an extra minute or two to your cooking time. This ensures the steaks are cooked to your liking. ⏲️

5. Keep the Steaks Warm:

   • Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a platter. Cover them with foil to keep them warm while you prepare the glaze. This rest period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. 🌡️

6. Prepare the Onion:

   • Add the chopped red onion to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds. This brief cooking time softens the onion and releases its sweet flavor. 🧅

7. Make the Balsamic Glaze:

   • Pour in the balsamic vinegar. Boil until the vinegar reduces to about 2 tablespoons. This reduction intensifies the balsamic vinegar’s sweetness and tanginess, creating a rich glaze. 🍷

8. Add Butter:

   • Add the 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Swirl the pan to melt the butter into the balsamic reduction. This adds a creamy texture and rich flavor to the glaze. 🧈

9. Season with Pepper:

   • Add the fresh coarse ground black pepper to the glaze. This adds a final touch of heat and depth to the sauce. 🌶️

10. Serve:

    • Pour the balsamic glaze over the warm steaks and serve immediately. This final step ensures each bite of steak is coated with the luscious, flavorful glaze. 🍽️

Serving Suggestions

Pair this delightful steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. The sweetness of the balsamic glaze pairs wonderfully with a glass of full-bodied red wine. Enjoy this quick and delicious dish with loved ones! 🍷🥗
