BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES
From the Biggest Loser Dessert Cookbook. This recipe serves one but would be easy to increase. Aged balsamic would give the best flavor to this dish. Cooking and preparation time do not include the 30 minute refrigeration time.

Steps:
- Mix together the strawberries, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl, and allow to sit for 1 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe, heavy steel or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper on both sides, gently place in the hot skillet, and sear each side until well-browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Slide the skillet into the preheated oven, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer the steaks to a platter, and tent with foil to rest.
- Pour steak juices from the skillet into a small saucepan. Strain the strawberries and discard the liquid. Add the strawberries to the steak juices, bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat, and melt the butter into the sauce, tilting the pan several times to gently incorporate the butter into the sauce. Serve each fillet topped with about 1/2 cup of strawberries and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- Choose the right balsamic vinegar: Opt for a high-quality balsamic vinegar with a rich, complex flavor. Look for a vinegar that is at least 12 years old.
- Use good quality balsamic vinegar: The quality of the balsamic vinegar you use will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is thick, syrupy, and has a complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the strawberries: The strawberries should be cooked until they are just softened, but still hold their shape.
- Let the balsamic vinegar mixture cool slightly before pouring it over the strawberries: This will help prevent the strawberries from overcooking.
- Serve the strawberries immediately: The strawberries are best served warm, shortly after they are made.
