Good grief. Help me. Help me now.

This adapted Peace, Love & Low Carb recipe was delicious! Yep, even considering that I actually agree with those who say that good steaks do not need sauce. But consider this - steaks are every bit as delicious with a good sauce as they are on their own. And as regular steak-eaters, I like to change things up in my household.

You’re going to love it. And quite possibly even faint. :)

Balsamic Mustard NY Strip Steaks (453 calories)

Ingredients:
1 ½ lbs. NY strip steak (or your favorite cut of beef)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup beef broth
¼ cup spicy brown mustard
1 finely chopped shallot
2 tbsp. light butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the steaks on both sides with a little salt and pepper. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they have reached desired doneness. Remove steaks from the pan and place on a plate covered with foil while you make the sauce (alternately, you can hold the steaks in the oven on low). To the skillet, add shallots and light butter and sauté until soft and translucent. Add balsamic vinegar to pan. Use a rubber spatula to scrape any bits of steak from the bottom of the pan and mix into sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Add beef broth and whisk in mustard. Simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until sauce has thickened.

    Yup, there's nothing like a good steak but a good sauce Balsamic/Mustard sauce like this can rescue a cheap, lousy hunk'o'round as well.

    Love the Balsamic/Mustard combination for lots of applications. A surprisingly good trio when you want a sweet effect is Balsamic/Mustard/Maple syrup. Just mix 'em up 1:1:1 and cook pork or chicken in it. Yummy.

    Awesome sauce. I loved it!

    I cooked a tri-tip roast in a sous vide bath to 130F. I pan seared the roast and used the juices left over from the sous vide bag along with the beef broth. Cut the steak thin and cross grain; topped it off with this sauce; and ate every last bit of it! I even sopped up the extra with the meager amount of steak fries I allowed myself to have.

    Thanks for the recipe. It was very enjoyable and will be a repeat in my home.

    I marinate in mustard/maple syrup/touch of olive oil and thyme and then bread my chicken. ... It's pretty awesome.

    I love balsamic so I'll have to mix this up in my marinades.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Yummy! I'm going to make this but with a minor change to the recipe. I will add some scotch bonnet peppers to the balsamic mustard sauce for some kick.
