Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp 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 mins. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 more mins. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil.

Reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook 20 seconds. Add the radicchio in batches, tossing until wilted. Sprinkle with 1-2 tsps sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Add the tomatoes and vinegar and cook until the vinegar evaporates slightly, about 1 min. Add the broth and cook until the radicchio is tender, about 2 mins. Stir in the basil. Transfer the radicchio to plates using tongs. Continue cooking the sauce until it thickens slightly, 1-2 mins. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp butter.

Thinly slice the steak and add to the plates. Drizzle with the sauce and top with more tomatoes and basil.
