By Judy1

Add extra flavor to the steaks by drizzling them with any pan juices after they're cooked. Serve the steak with fast-cooking long-grain and wild rice pilaf tossed with dried fruit.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, trimmed (1 inch thick)
• Cooking spray
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler.

Combine molasses and vinegar in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add steaks, turning to coat. Place steaks on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper.

Broil 6 minutes; turn steaks over. Broil an additional 5 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Serve immediately.
