Rib Steak with Balsamic Glaze and Onion Relish

Rib Steak with Balsamic Glaze and Onion Relish

Serves 4

4 (4 ounce) rib steaks

2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper to taste

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

4 medium onions, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Heavily sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon, ground pepper over both sides of each steak; let sit covered for 20 minutes at room temperature

Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, cook meat to desired doneness. Remove steaks to plate and tent with foil let rest for 10-15 minutes.

In the pan that you cooked the steaks add onions and sauté until lightly browned; add balsamic vinegar and honey, stir and cook for 4 min. Strain onions and put in a bowl, set aside as relish.  

Balsamic Onion Relish

Return balsamic liquid to the pan on medium high heat simmer until reduced to the consistence of pancake syrup.

Balsamic Honey Glaze

Serve steaks garnished with the onion relish and spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.
