A quick and flavorful balsamic spring beef dish that balances sweet and tangy flavors, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 stalks spring onions (green onions), sliced thinly for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice your sirloin steak thinly against the grain and set aside in a bowl.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle.
  4. Add the beef slices in a single layer (in batches if needed). Sear without moving for about 2 minutes until browned, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through but still juicy.
  5. Lower heat to medium, pour the balsamic glaze over the beef, and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
  6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced spring onions, and gently toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper searing. Use room temperature beef for even cooking. Stir the glaze constantly to prevent burning. If glaze thickens too fast, add a splash of water to loosen it. Avoid overcooking the beef to keep it tender. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a skillet.
