Preparation
Marinate the steak: In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine balsamic vinegar (1 Tbsp), butter (1 tsp), garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Add steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) in the fridge.
Cook the steak: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Grill or sear for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Let rest 5 minutes.
Top the steak: Place tomato slices and mozzarella over the steak. Let the residual heat slightly soften the cheese. Top with fresh basil.
Make the drizzle: Whisk together olive oil (1 Tbsp), balsamic vinegar (1 tsp), salt, and pepper.
Serve: Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the topped steak and serve immediately.
Scientific American explains how mitochondria are redefined not simply as the cell’s “powerhouse” but as a sophisticated “motherboard” that processes information, coordinates energy production, and communicates with other parts of the cell to regulate vital processes like aging, stress response, and cellular health.
