#beloved: may your life and your steaks be sweet and savory. 

Steak with Twizzler-Infused Glaze

Ingredients:

	•	2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice of cut)
	•	Salt and pepper, to taste
	•	1 tablespoon olive oil
	•	4–5 Twizzlers (strawberry or cherry flavor)
	•	1/2 cup red wine (or beef broth for a non-alcoholic option)
	•	1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
	•	1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for a bit of umami depth)
	•	1/2 teaspoon butter (for a richer sauce finish)

Instructions:

	1.	Prepare the Steaks: Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature while you make the Twizzler glaze.
	2.	Make the Twizzler Glaze:
	•	Cut the Twizzlers into small pieces and place them in a small saucepan with the red wine or beef broth.
	•	Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the Twizzlers dissolve into the liquid (about 5-7 minutes).
	•	Add the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, then simmer the sauce for another 3–5 minutes, or until it slightly thickens. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it with a splash of water or more wine.
	•	Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth. Set the sauce aside and keep it warm.
	3.	Cook the Steaks:
	•	In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
	•	Add the steaks to the pan and cook to your desired level of doneness (about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness).
	•	Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
	4.	Serve: Slice the steaks and drizzle the Twizzler glaze over them, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. The fruity, slightly tangy glaze complements the richness of the steak with an unexpected pop of flavor.

Optional Twizzler Twist

	•	If you want to go all-in with the Twizzlers, try finely grating a bit of Twizzler over the finished dish as a playful garnish.
