Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix balsamic vinegar, Mrs. Dash Original Steak Grilling Blend, and olive oil in a small bowl.
- Coat both sides of the steaks with the marinade and let marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill or broiler to medium heat.
- Place steaks on a large sheet of aluminum foil and seal the foil.
- Grill or broil for 20 minutes.
- Open the foil and remove the steaks, placing them over direct heat.
- Reseal the foil and continue grilling for 3 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
- Serve immediately, topping with juice from the foil.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like rosemary to the marinade. If you don't have Mrs. Dash, a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper can work as a substitute. Remember to let the steaks rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled steak with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. A side of baked potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes also complements the dish well. For a refreshing drink, consider pairing it with a Cranberry Fizz, which adds a nice contrast to the rich flavors of the steak.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover grilled steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the steak in aluminum foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 250°F until heated through, ensuring it stays moist. Avoid microwaving to prevent toughness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of vinegar for the marinade?
Yes, you can substitute balsamic vinegar with red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a different flavor profile. Each type of vinegar will impart its unique taste, so choose one that complements your palate.
How can I achieve a perfect medium-rare steak?
To achieve a medium-rare steak, cook the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy, and remember to let it rest after grilling to maintain juiciness.
Is it necessary to marinate the steak for 30 minutes?
While marinating for 30 minutes enhances flavor, you can marinate for a shorter time if you're in a hurry. Even a quick 10-15 minute coat can add some taste, but longer marinating will yield better results.
