Molasses, balsamic vinegar and orange juice work together like a dream to form and deeply flavored sauce for this seared steak. All three sauce elements share sweetness and a touch of fruit. They complement each other so well based on their different levels of viscosity and the bitter, tart and tang notes. Roasted green beans make a wonderful side to this steak and give the meal a holiday feel. Serve with some roasted potatoes or mashed cauliflower to keep the veggie presence high. This dish is super flavorful and easy to serve to groups with different tastes, making it a good one for entertaining.
