"Cloquet hated reality but realized it was still the only place to get a good steak."
-Woody Allen, Comedian
As many of you know, I love balanced recipes. The umami of the beef is complemented by the sweetness of the tomatoes and basil. All of this is rounded out by a bit of tartness and spice from the prepared horseradish.
This recipe works great with pan grilling in the oven or cooking the steak on the grill outside.

1 Tbsp | olive oil |
2 large | shallots (sliced) |
2 cloves | garlic (sliced) |
spray olive oil | |
2 4 ounce | sirloin steaks |
8 ounces | grape or cherry tomatoes |
2 tsp | prepared horseradish |
1/4 tsp | salt |
fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
10 large | leaves fresh basil (chiffonade) |
Preheat the oven to 375°F (or start the grill). Place a medium skillet in the oven.
Place the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook slowly until the shallots are limp. Do not allow the shallots or garlic to brown.
When the oven is hot, lightly spray the pan with oil and place the steaks in the pan. (Or place the steaks on the grill.)
While the steak is cooking, add the tomatoes to the pan with the shallots and garlic. Cook, tossing frequently. As the tomatoes cook, the skins will break. Mash them lightly as they do so that the juice comes out into the sauce. Add the horseradish, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir.
After about 5 minutes, turn the steaks. Just before the steaks are done, add the basil to the tomato mixture and toss well.
When the steaks are done serve topped with the tomato / onion mixture.
