Gross, I'd never sweeten balsamic vinegar, even for a syrup... Unless you're buying literally the WORST stuff around, it should have plenty of sweetness on it's own.
my mom always takes any kind of steak, and adds seasond salt and garlic, it makes for a great steak. the garlic gives it a much diffrent taste then wha'd you'd think
Use kosher salt. It sticks to the meat better and will help form a crust on the steak (conspicuously absent from hers when she comments about the great crust and the camera is showing a steak with no crust at all). Kosher salt also doesn't have a bunch of anti-clumping additives that taste weird.
it's amazing what watching 14 seasons of good eats will do to the average home cook, e.g. myself.
first of all, don't fry steaks in butter, ever. Second of all, the pan is overcrowded; there's no way she got enough heat/fire power in that pan to properly sear 2.5-3 lbs of meat all at once, she's lucky she didn't end up with a stew.
@leokuan Just because Alton Brown said don't do something doesn't make it food gospel. I have heard of people frying steak in butter before, no big deal. Plus how can you tell from an edited video how hot her pan is? Can you feel it through your computer? And we don't really know how long she was heating her pan. Besides, Giada studied at the Cordon Bleu in France, I'm pretty sure knows what she is doing and doing what she wants.
@cocoapeach sure you could fry steaks in butter at lower temps at say 325F tops, but then you would end up with a profile of so much medium well done and an itty bitty medium rare core. Sure that would still look okay on the plate, but I wouldn't want to eat it, nor would I want my guests to.
I like filet mignon seasoned with salt and pepper, rubbed with canola oil, pan-seared 2 minutes per side, basted with butter and then serving over a deglazed red wine reduction. By cooking it rare you truly taste how amazing the steak is and it's not complicated by anything else. I like serving it beside a small serving of mashed potatoes.
@AWickedMind for chicken or pork OR if she marinated them for a long time. But these are fresh pieces of beef. She's going to eat it medium rare so she's going to eat it red regardless. Muscles are sterile. Ground meat is what you should be worried about.
shes so dang sexy!an the fact tht she can cook like a chef makes it even better lol

Dry 1" fillets.
Grind fresh pepper on them (no salt!).
Get a dry cast iron frying pan as hot as you can get it (water should bead up and dance on the surface).
Sear the steaks about 20 seconds a side and around the edge.
Transfer to a barely warm skillet and bake 7 minutes in a 375F oven.
Remove and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

God, is she using table salt?
Use kosher salt. It sticks to the meat better and will help form a crust on the steak (conspicuously absent from hers when she comments about the great crust and the camera is showing a steak with no crust at all). Kosher salt also doesn't have a bunch of anti-clumping additives that taste weird.

Uh-oh. I spot a kitch faux pas: never use the same utensil that touched the raw meat to handle it after being cooked.
