Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Steak (ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional garnish)
Instructions
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, red chili flakes, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are evenly coated. Let the steaks marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the grill or skillet.
Heat a grill or a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot. If using a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the surface lightly.
Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired level of doneness. Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your steaks.
Brush the steaks with additional marinade during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor, but ensure you discard any remaining raw marinade after this step.
Remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the steaks hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
