Ingredients
- 4 6-oz beef eye round steaks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 Tbl. unsalted butter
- 1 to 2 tsp. sugar, plus a pinch
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 2 heads radicchio, torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced, plus more for topping
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (preferably aged)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced, plus leaves for topping
Preparation
Step 1
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add 1 Tbl. butter, swirling the pan to coat. Add the steaks, sprinkle them with a pinch of sugar, and sear until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 more minutes. Transfer to a cutter board and tent with foil.
2. Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 Tbl. butter to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook 20 seconds. Add the radicchio in batches, tossing until wilted. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tsp. sugar and 1/2 tsp. salt. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and vinegar and cook until the vinegar evaporates slightly, about 1 minute. Add the broth and cook until the radicchio is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil. Transfer the radicchio to plates using tongs. Continue cooking the sauce until it thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 Tbl. butter.
3. Thinly slice the steak and add to the plates. Drizzle with the sauce and top with more sun-dried tomatoes and basil.
