  Helpful Tips:1. No need to chop the rosemary in the marinade. Rather, just give it a little rub to bruise the herb and help release the essential oils.
  2. Pound the steak to tenderize the meat.
  3. The balsamic vinegar and brown sugar create a delicious caramelized crust on the steaks.
  4. After cooking, allow the steaks to rest and slice against the grain to ensure tender steak.
