Seared Beef Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Candied Bacon

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bacon on the sheet and brush with honey. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and caramelized. Set aside.

2. 2

   Toast the Pecans

   In a skillet over medium heat, add pecans and toast for about 5 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

3. 3

   Grill the Portabella Mushrooms

   Brush the portabella mushrooms with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes on each side until tender. Remove from heat and slice.

4. 4

   Sear the Beef Steaks

   In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Season the beef steaks with salt and pepper. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Let them rest for a few minutes.

5. 5

   Make the Vinaigrette

   In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper to taste.

6. 6
