Fabulous! I always get nervous trying a new marinade on tenderloin steaks, since they are so pricey, but this just sounded so good. I made the marinade exactly as posted, except I added some fresh chopped parsley as well. The steaks actually marinated about 17 hours before I grilled them and they came out wonderfully. The meat was tender and flavorful, and my guests really enjoyed them. Thanks for making my dinner party a success!! Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag Game.

Loved this marinated steak!!! I did make it a little differently, as I scaled it back for one steak and I really dislike rosemary, so left it out and I used a ribeye steak. I marinated it for 5-6 hours and then while grilling it in the beginning, basted the steak with the marinade. Find I am really loving the flavor that balsamic vinegar lends to meat and this was no exception, wonderful flavor!!!<br/>Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for Stars Tag Game.

Thank goodness I tasted this before I brushed it on my steaks. It tasted horrible. I'd used the last of my balsamic vinegar so I couldn't just toss it and start over again (which I would have preferred to do), so I added some honey. I'll update after I grill the steaks, but for pity's sake, don't use this recipe as written. Doctor it up. A lot.

I had made a quicker pantry style version of this with balsamic vinaigrette dressing, about a cup and a half with a spoon of the pre-minced jars of garlic, and LOTS of pepper and salt. I used sirloin just because its what I had, and frayed them on a scorching hot pan and waited for a little colour on them before dumping all of the marinade over it and cooked it in the sauce. The marinade thickened and the steak was perffff.. I love ANYTHING balsamic.

I love cooking for family and friends. I especially enjoy baking...it is like combining art and science to create something extraordinary.
I am most known for making desserts like Recipe #336060. My pet peeve: when people sign-up to bring dessert to a pot-luck or dinner party and they bring something pre-made from the store. My friends and family now know to always let me bring the dessert. :)
I enjoy traveling and believe that one of the best ways to experience a culture is through food. I have lived in Germany, Spain and Switzerland, and currently live in the US.
My rating system:
5 stars - Excellent! Delicious! Could not be better...will make often.
4 stars - Very good! May tweak slightly.
3 stars - Good base recipe. Will need to tweak.
2 stars - Ok. Will keep looking.
