Balsamic Beef Recipe

 

Ingredients: 1.5 pounds (680g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons honey 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme Salt and black pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons olive oil Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Instructions: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Set aside. Place the sliced beef in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the balsamic marinade over the beef, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for the best flavor. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Add the beef to the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until it is browned and cooked to your desired doneness. It's important not to overcrowd the pan, so you may need to cook the beef in batches. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, pour the reserved marinade and cook it over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until it reduces and thickens slightly to form a sauce. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss it in the balsamic sauce until it is evenly coated. Cook for an additional minute or two to heat the beef through. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the balsamic beef over steamed rice or noodles, or with a side of roasted vegetables. It also pairs well with a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
