I've always love the taste of steak cooked indoors seared and cooked in the pan. Then I found out about balsamic vinegar reduction and my love increased 10 fold. I've used this technique and the reduction on ribeyes and also on pan seared chicken. Read more The further ahead you season the meat the better. I always refrigerate seasoned steaks for at least 3 hours then let them come to room temperature before cooking. I'll be cooking this tonight and will try to resist eating until I snap a picture.

I am a sucker for reduction sauces. Not big on the texture of cooked Fillets(except raw)but would love to do this recipe on a Ribeye or good strip steak... I always have reduced Balsamic on hand. Will be doing this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing.....;-)~ Jim

PS.. I see you are friends with my cousin Judy(linda 2230) She is a great cook and very original as it seems you are... ;-)~
