Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss tomatoes with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Pop in the oven and roast until tomatoes are starting to burst. Season steak liberally with salt and pepper. In a small sauce pan, add 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes until vinegar is thickened. Heat a cast-iron skillet to a medium-high heat. Once the pan is preheated add one tablespoon of canola oil. Add half of steak, sear on all sides. Remove from the pan and repeat with remaining meat. When the second batch is seared, add the other half back to the pan along with 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar. Cook for about 30 seconds until the vinegar reduces. Set aside. In another small skillet, heated to medium-high, add remaining oil. Add in kale and garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly wilted. Season with salt and pepper. To assemble: Skewer a tomato onto the pick, followed by a piece of kale and then a piece of steak. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Drizzle with reduced balsamic vinegar.
