Marinade

2- 8oz Teres Major Steaks
tsp. Sea Salt
1 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
2 T. Fat (I used rendered Bacon Fat)

Crispy Shallots (recipe follows)
Rosemary-Balsamic Reduction (recipe follows)

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. In a large, oven-proof fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the fat. Add the steaks and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
4. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 130° to 145°F, for medium-rare to medium, and the meat is barely pink in the center, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
5. Slice into 1/2" slices and serve with a pink of Crispy Shallots and a drizzle of Rosemary-Balsamic Reduction. Serve with toothpicks.
