Balsamic Glazed Steaks with Sauteed Maple Brussles Sprouts

Don't get me wrong, I love a grilled steak, but it's a little difficult to grill when the temperature is in the teens here in the evening. And when it gets dark at 5:30, it's tough to tell the how done your meat is. Lucky for me (& you), the broiler in our oven isn't too shabby when it comes to fulfilling a craving for steak!

 

What I love about this meal is that it's quick, easy, and requires only a few ingredients.

Recipe:

Serves 2 adults & 2 kids

Steaks-

• 3 - 4oz. Sirloin Steaks

Sprouts-

• 1 pound Brussels Sprouts (approximately 20)
• Avocado Oil
• 3 teaspoons Maple Syrup

Sauce-

• Balsamic Vinegar

 Directions:

• Preheat broiler.
• Spray broiler pan with cooking spray. Season both sides of each steak with salt & pepper.
• Cook steaks for about 5 minutes on each side; more or less according to your preference and steak thickness.
• Meanwhile, add 2 teaspoons avocado oil to a pan. Cut the ends off Brussels sprouts, and remove the outside leaves. Slice in half and add to pan, sautee until slightly crispy and brown. Add a little water and maple syrup. Place a top on the pan and steam for 3 minutes.
