We barbecue every Saturday night at our house, rain or shine, summer or winter. My husband does the grill and I prepare the side dishes. (easy ones – it gives me a sort of night off from cooking once a week.) This week grilled balsamic steak with fresh rosemary is going on the grill.
Be sure to fresh herbs for cooking this recipe to add so much flavor. The Rosemary is one of the stars of this dish and the dried variety just won’t cut it!
If you like the taste of balsamic vinegar on protein as much as I do, be sure to also check out my balsamic chicken and mushrooms recipe. The sauce is amazing on this one!

Grilled Balsamic Steak with Fresh Rosemary
I am always looking for new steak recipes. I often just use a rub, but occasionally, I will do a marinade. The beauty of this dish, is that I can do the sauce while my husband cooks the steaks, so there is no waiting time after the steaks are done (and I don’t have to worry about keeping them warm or over cooked.)
The recipe is easy. Just make the marinade in the morning and heat up the grill in the evening. The marinade uses Olive oil, garlic, rosemary, balsamic vinegar and
Add all of the ingredients except for the steak in a bowl and whisk to combine.
Place the steaks in a covered baking dish and pour the marinade over. Turn to coat and place in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove the steaks and grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare on a medium high heat grill. Ever wonder how to get your steak just right? See my tips for steak doneness here.
Take the remaining marinade and add 1/4 cup of red wine. Boil to reduce by half for about 10 minutes.
Stir in a tablespoon of chopped rosemary.
Pour over the steaks and serve with a tossed salad and baked potato or garlic bread.
Thid grilled balsamic steak recipes makes steaks that are tender and tangy with just the right amount of flavor from the fresh rosemary. Enjoy!
