Herbed Steak with Balsamic Sauce

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine cracked pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of each steak; rub into the steaks.
2. In a heavy large skillet, heat oil over medium-low to medium heat. Add steaks; cook until desired doneness, turning once halfway through cooking time. Allow 10 to 13 minutes for medium-rare doneness (145°F) to medium doneness (160°F). Remove steaks from skillet, reserving drippings in the skillet. Keep steaks warm.
3. For sauce, carefully add beef broth and balsamic vinegar to the skillet; stir to scrape up any crusty brown bits from bottom of skillet. Bring to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, about 4 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half. Remove from heat; stir in butter.
4. Divide sauce among 4 plates. Cut each steak in half. Place a piece of meat on top of sauce on each plate; sprinkle with parsley.
