• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade.

GRILLED STEAK WITH BALSAMIC TERIYAKI SAUCE

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.

GRILLED BALSAMIC AND SOY MARINATED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk onion, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, rosemary, salt, and pepper together in a mixing bowl.
• Put the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into the bag and coat steak with the marinade. Squeeze excess air from the bag and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes, up to 2 days.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the flank steak from the marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Reserve marinade.
• Cook steak until firm, hot in the center, and just turning from pink to grey, 6 to 8 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Remove steak to a cutting board and rest meat 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.

PAN-GRILLED STEAK WITH BALSAMIC PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan on medium-high heat until hot.
• Sprinkle steaks with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
• Cook to desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
• Remove steaks from the pan and set aside to keep warm.
• Add the olive oil to the pan until hot, about 1 minute.
• Add the peppers and cook, stirring often, until browned and soft, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic, vinegar and the remaining salt and pepper.
• Cook, stirring often, until all the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.
• Serve the peppers over the steaks.

GRILLED STEAK WITH BALSAMIC TERIYAKI

Steps:

• To make the Balsamic Teriyaki Sauce, add the butter to a saucepot and set over medium-low heat. When the butter just starts to bubble, add the shallots and the garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until aromatics are soft. Watch to make sure you don't burn the shallots or garlic.
• Pour the balsamic vinegar in and bring to a boil. When boiling, immediately turn the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until reduced by half. The balsamic should be think, glossy and coat the back of a spoon. Add the sugar, stock, 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. Let cool and reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for marinating and the remaining 1/4 cup for serving.
• Place the steak and just 1/2 cup of sauce in a large sealable plastic bag. Marinate 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Thirty minutes prior to grilling, remove steak from refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. Discard the marinade and pat the steak very dry.
• Grilling outdoors. If you're grilling outdoors, preheat the grill for direct grilling over high heat. Grilling in pan or stovetop: If you're cooking the steak on the stovetop, set a large frying pan or griddle over high heat. When a bead of water sizzles and evaporates upon contact, add the oil and swirl to coat.
• Add the steak to the hot grill or pan in one layer. The pieces should not be touching. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Skirt steak varies in thickness, so you might want to add the thicker pieces to the grill or pan first and give them an extra minute head start.
• Let the grilled skirt steak rest for 5 minutes, then cut across the grain for ultimate tenderness. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of the Balsamic Teriyaki Sauce over the meat.

GRILLED STEAK AND ONIONS WITH ROSEMARY-BALSAMIC BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 6 tablespoons butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar and rosemary and simmer until syrupy and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat (balsamic sauce will separate as it stands).
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Peel sweet onions, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Skewer horizontally with toothpicks to keep intact. Peel shallots; cut in half lengthwise. Trim root ends and tops of leeks. Cut in half lengthwise; rinse to remove any dirt. Trim root ends of green onions. Place sweet onions, shallots, leeks, and green onions on rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil; toss. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Grill sweet onions, shallots, leeks, and green onions until tender, turning often, about 5 minutes for green onions and 10 minutes for sweet onions, shallots, and leeks. Move onions to cooler part of grill to keep warm. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks and onions to platter; cover.
• Remove rosemary sprigs from balsamic sauce; add orange juice and bring to simmer. Remove saucepan from heat; add remaining 2 tablespoons chilled butter and whisk until melted and sauce is smooth. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle some of sauce over steaks and onions. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
