Steak and strawberries? So you might ask with part surprise, part trepidation. However, much like a relish or chutney, the sweet-and-sour mélange of balsamic vinegar and strawberries makes a fine companion to the peppery beef. Serve with Micro-Grilled Fries.

Ingredients
Method
Sprinkle steaks with brandy; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Melt half of the butter; brush over both sides of steaks. In shallow dish, mix pepper with salt; press both sides of steaks into pepper mixture.Place steaks on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until desired doneness, about 10 minutes for rare, 14 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from grill; tent with foil and set aside.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat; cook shallots until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and pinch more salt; boil until reduced to about 1 tbsp (15 mL). Add strawberries and heat through.
