For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. A meat thermometer is your best friend for achieving the perfect level of doneness. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare, 135-140°F for medium. If the balsamic glaze becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water or beef broth to thin it out. Pair this dish with a bold red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot, to complement the richness of the steak and glaze.
