Ingredients

2 tbsp. brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 New York strip steak

1 strip thick-sliced bacon, minced

2 tbsp. shallots, minced

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

2 tsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. Dijon mustard

salt and pepper

2 tbsp. olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450; heat in oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium.

Combine first 3 ingredients in a bowl. Press sugar mixture onto both sides of the steak, then sear it on one side until browned, about 5 mins. Flip the steak and brown the second side for 2 minutes, then transfer pan to the oven to finish (about 8 minutes). Remove steak and let rest on a cutting board.

Saute bacon in a small skillet over medium-high heat until crisp; add shallots and cook until soft, about 2 mins. Deglaze with vinegar, then whisk in sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Finish with oil and keep warm. Drizzle over steak when ready to serve.
