This wonderful sauce is simple enough for everyday meals, but elegant enough to serve to visitors. It has a sweet/sour , buttery flavour that goes well with steak (we had rump). If you make it before your steak is cooked and let it sit, it splits, but comes back together easily with a re-heat and a quick whisk.

I normally do not eat anything on my steak -- I love it cooked medium-rare with no distractions from the beef flavor. However, I do love balsamic vinegar and this recipe piqued my interest. We grilled T-bones on the barbecue and this sauce was awesome with the grilled smokiness of the meat and when mixed with the meat juices, WOW. Made for Spring 2009 Pick A Chef.

I made this for NY strip steaks. It was just too sweet for me; but I may try it again, omiting the sugar.

This was fantastic. Made it for our dinner of filet mignonne, and we were amazed at the wonderful taste. Definitely agree with Jan, nice ( and easy!! ) enough for us to make it for everyday type stuff as well as for guests. Fantastic.
