I wanted to try something new and having never tried radicchio before, I thought this receipe might be fun. Radicchio is a bitter vegetable, however I added a bit of extra sugar than what was called for and just let it cook down a lot. We kept tasting as it was cooking, and kept adding a bit more sugar at a time until it was how we liked it. Once it was done we didn't find the radicchio bitter at all and mixed with the balsamic it was just delicious! I didn't care for the cut of the steak very much, it was tough and didn't have as nice of a flavour - but that's not really the fault of the receipe. I can't wait to try this receipe again with a different cut of steak. I thought it was fantastic, and if you just keep tasting the radicchio as you go, and make a couple tweaks here and there you can get some really nice flavours going! Absolutely loved the sauce when it was cooked down and drizzled over the steak!

I wanted to like this, but it was way too bitter. I used an aged balsamic and even added more sugar, but it didn't work for me.

This recipe was really, really good. I don't like very bitter things, so I was disappointed when I read the other reviews, but they were just plain wrong. The radicchio was a little bitter if eaten on its own, but with the steak and the balsamic sauce, it was perfect! I know radicchio gets more bitter when it ages, so maybe the other reviewers got ahold of some older radicchio. Or maybe they used a crappy balsamic that wasn't very sweet. Either way, don't be scared off, this dish is too good to miss!

We made this without knowing much about radicchio. It is very bitter, but now we've seen it in a side with other bitter vegetables and the side was called "bitters" so obviously this is a matter of personal taste. Neither my wife nor I cared for the bitterness of the radicchio, though the steak itself was good.

I made this exactly as instructed and consider myself an intermediate home cook. The radicchio was very bitter. So bitter we couldn't eat it. I was wondering if this was how it was supposed to taste, as I haven't had radicchio before (I'm thinking it wasn't a good head of radicchio?. I would like to try to make it again, but don't know what I could've done differently.

Delicious! I made this last night and it was fantastic. The steaks didn't really brown in the pan like in the photograph, but I don't think I had the heat up high enough either. (I finished them off under the broiler. The radicchio and the sauce, however, were OUTSTANDING. I doubled the garlic, but then we really like garlic. I will definitely make this again!
