Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3/4 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  • Place the 1 1/4 pound Denver steak in a bowl and pour the marinade over it. Turn the steak to coat both sides and let it sit for 5 minutes at room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off or pat lightly dry with a paper towel.
  • Season both sides of the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place the steak on the hot grill pan, grill, or skillet. Cook 8 minutes on one side, then flip and cook 8 minutes on the other side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 140–145°F.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice the steak against the grain and serve.

Notes

Notes
TO STORE:
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
TO FREEZE:
Let cool, then freeze the leftover steak in a container or ziplock bag for 2 to 3 months.
TO REHEAT:
The best way to reheat steak without drying it out is to heat it in a 250ºF oven until the internal temperature reaches 110ºF. Heating in a covered pan on the stove also works well.
