Description

This Cranberry Balsamic Ribeye Steak recipe combines the rich, juicy flavors of a perfectly seared ribeye with a vibrant, tangy-sweet cranberry balsamic sauce. Ideal for a special dinner, this recipe balances savory and fruity elements, creating a deliciously elegant meal in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 2 (10 to 12 ounce) boneless ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or other high-heat oil)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sauce

  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)

Instructions

  1. Bring to room temperature: Remove the steaks from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for about 30 to 40 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking. Season all sides of the steaks evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Make the sauce: In a saucepan, combine water, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, then add cranberries, fresh rosemary, and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until most cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  3. Sear the steaks: Heat a cast iron pan on the stovetop over high heat until very hot. Add avocado oil; when it shimmers and is sizzling hot, add the ribeye steaks. For medium-rare, sear each side—3 to 4 minutes on the first side, then 3 minutes on the other. Remove steaks from the pan and let rest on a plate for about 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
  4. Drizzle the sauce: Plate the rested steaks and generously drizzle the warm cranberry balsamic sauce over the top before serving to add a burst of sweet and tangy flavor.

Notes

  • Letting steaks reach room temperature ensures more even cooking and juicier results.
  • You can substitute fresh cranberries with frozen cranberries if fresh are unavailable.
  • Adjust cooking time if you prefer your steak more or less done.
  • For a smoky twist, add a dash of smoked paprika to the seasoning.
  • Save any leftover sauce for salads or roasted vegetables.
