Chipotle Espresso Balsamic Steak
Ingredients:
- Flank steak (about 1 1/2 lbs) or 4 boneless rib eye steaks (about 6 oz each)
- 3 T. The Olive Tap’s Chipotle Olive Oil, divided
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- ½ cup chopped shallots
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- ½ cup The Olive Tap’s Espresso Balsamic Vinegar
Directions:
Rub the steaks with 1 tablespoon of Chipotle Olive Oil and generously salt and pepper both sides. Grill or pan fry steaks to desired doneness, turning once during cooking. Transfer steaks to a plate (make a foil tent to keep warm).
For Glaze:
Add remaining 2 tablespoons of Chipotle Olive Oil to a pan over medium heat (if pan-frying steaks use the same skillet). Add shallots, garlic and rosemary and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shallots start to become translucent.
Add Espresso Balsamic Vinegar and continue cooking to reduce the mixture to a glaze about 1 minute (if pan-frying steaks and using the same skillet, scrape up browned bits). Then add the juices remaining from the plate holding the tented steaks. Drizzle over warm steaks and serve immediately.
