- Season the beef fillets generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Pour the marinade over the beef fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the marinated beef fillets.
- Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Place each cooked beef fillet on a serving plate.
- Spoon the tomato, basil, and feta mixture generously over each steak.
- Drizzle any remaining juices from the salad over the top for added flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious balsamic steak with tomato, basil, and feta.
Tips:
- Ensure the beef fillets are at room temperature before cooking to allow for even cooking throughout.
- For the best sear, use a hot cast-iron skillet and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Feel free to adjust the quantity of garlic and basil to suit your taste preferences.
- If you have time, marinate the steak in balsamic vinegar and olive oil for an hour before cooking to enhance the flavors.
